"Classic Game Show's Reboot Was Unceremoniously Scrapped" (article)

Another classic game show was close to returning to the airwaves, but it couldn't quite come to fruition. Starcade, the '80s arcade competition series, was nearly rebooted this year on G4TV, Comcast's video game network. However, the media conglomerate got cold feet with the G4 relaunch, unceremoniously shuttering the whole network in October. Prior to the shutdown, Xplay co-host Jirard "The Completionist" Khalil was deep into lining up a Starcade reboot. Khalil, who also served as G4's Executive Director of Content Strategy, revealed the reboot plans during an unofficial Xplay reunion that went down on Kinda Funny Games' platforms on Nov. 15.

I never heard of Starcade, I'm a bit surprised something like that existed in the 80's. Probably a good thing it didn't get a reboot on the new G4, maybe now it can get a proper reboot on a good channel at some point. I'd be interested in checking it out.

Hmmm. I've never heard of Starcade, either (only 'Starcade' I can think of is that series JonTron did on Star Wars stuff a ways back).
