Starcade was a game show where contestants competed against one another by playing video games.

Starcade was produced by JM Production Company for Ted Turner to air on WTBS and later syndication by Turner Program Services, TPS. The show originally aired on WTBS during the 1982–83 season. This season was hosted by Mark Richards. The show eventually aired in syndication from 1983–1984, with Geoff Edwards taking the hosting position. Starcade was the first to be a video arcade game show, and set the blueprint for similar game shows like Video Power, Nick Arcade, and Arena. The show was used to showcase brand new arcade games.

This game show was focused around the newest trend of the 80s: video games. Contestants would answer questions, and the one who would answer a question right, would get their choice of what video game to play. The points scored in the video game would be added on to their total score in the game. The winner would play a bonus round for prizes. Sidenote: This game show was also responsible for introducing Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair to the world. Written by Pat McCurry
