While your beloved Saturday Morning Historical Reenactment Society mods are away at PAX Prime (a giant Video Game/Gaming Convention), please enjoy this classic episode of the 1980's syndicated game show "Starcade" (a HUGE PART of my own personal Saturday Morning Experience)!

We'll be back on the other side of this long weekend :)

The Saturday Supercade became a fixture in the CBS Saturday morning line-up starting in 1983 and ending at just about the time that everybody started buying Nintendo gaming systems. During the time that this cartoon reigned, it contained cartoon versions of some of the biggest stars of the Video Game Arcade Revolution (that didn't already have their own cartoon shows)!
  • Frogger
  • Donkey Kong
  • Donkey Kong Jr.
  • Q*Bert
  • Pitfall!
  • Space Ace

And if you were lucky like *I* was, they also followed up your Saturday Supercade with a syndicated episode of the video game show STARCADE!!! Full episodes of that show are available for streaming on the linked website :)

Leave your Saturday Supercade and/or Starcade memories in the comments below, and if the Saturday Supercade was your favorite part of Saturday morning in 1983, don't forget to go vote for it in our Best Cartoon of 1983 Poll!
