Nick Arcade

Is that the...

I remember Nick Arcade.

Nick Arcade.

Was it like Nick Arcade?

It was like Nick Arcade, but it ended with, um, kids running through, like, an obstacle course covered in NES cartridges, and they would have to stick them to their body where they were wearing a Velcro suit, and then go down a slide at the end.

That sounds amazing.

And get to keep all the...

No, I completely forgot about that.

But I mean, that speaks to how badly I, more than any other Nickelodeon game show, this was the, barring maybe Nick Arcade, which, you know, I would have fucking slayed.

I don't remember the questions on this one.

Was it educational? Oh, I'm going to walk you through

So then I got around to playing the Quintet games.

I'd always heard of ActRaiser, mostly because it was on Nick Arcade when I was a kid.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Isn't that cool?

What a weird game for Nick Arcade.

I know, man.

Yes.

I, you know, I was always watching game shows in the household, but you know, let's not get out of the Nick game shows, Nick Arcade-

Oh my God

...

I can't remember.

It was called Nick Arcade.

But, like, they would have to whoever, like, won the game to, like, you know, get, like, the grand prize, the team would have to, like, quote-unquote go into the video game where they were having to could they see

it though

i don't know but

like this show was in 1992 is when it first started And, like, the, you know, the final thing is they would have to go to, you know, clearly they were just, like, on a green screen where they were, like, watching the video game because they would have to, like, jump over things and, like, grab coins or whatever.

And so, like, I guess that technically is not supposed to be, like, virtual reality like this is trying to say it is, but this, that idea had been done already on Nick Arcade, like, five years prior.

Hmm, I don't know.

They filmed – Clarissa explains it all there.

Nickelodeon Arcade, Legends of the Hidden Temple was filmed there.

Guts was filmed there.

All that.

We talked about...

I remembered Nick Arcade.

Yeah.

[laughs]

games? Watching it, you have to run along.

It's like playing Nick Arcade with him.

Oh, okay.

But he's got good songs.

They paint you in a very negative light.

Tom, in the break, I showed you some Danny Go, and you really enjoyed it.

Yeah, you described it as Nick Arcade-esque, and it definitely was.

But I was, I mean, you said the music was good, but that music, like, immediately I was like, yeah, this music rules.
