80's kids gameshow

I'm trying to remember the name of an old kids game show. The only thing I can recall is that they would have video game challenges. Also at the end you got time to run through and try to get as many games and acces. within the time limit. Any ideas? Thanks!

Right. Second season of Video Power. (The first season was partially a video game tips-'n-stuff show mixed in with a cartoon featuring nothing but Acclaim characters.)

That's It. Man, I hadn't thought about that show, until my daughter and I were watching GUTs and it made me remember it for some reason. Thanks for all the help!

Man. I used to watch Nick Arcade like crazy. Watching it now YouTube is depressing.

What I always found funny about "Starcade" was the host. He seemed so out of place. Some middle-adged dude who probably felt his career was SO over when he took that job.

Why didn't Starcade have some young MTV type guy hosting it?

Something else I remember was thinking at the end of every episode how dumb those kids were and how if I was on the show I would have won...no questions asked. This from the guy who can't even type when someone is looking over his shoulder.
