Hi, new to this board, probably won't contribute much, but I wanted to give some information that I know about a lost Nick Arcade episode. I REALLY wish I still had the video of it (recorded by a family member way back in 1992) but sadly cannot find it. However, thanks to a sponge memory, I can give you a brain dump of what I know from the episode.
Season 1 episode
Contestants: Calvin/Katie (yellow), Mark/Cheryl (red)
Faceoff game: Laser Surgeon (Calvin beats Cheryl in round 1, Mark beats Katie in round 2)
Contestant interviews: Calvin is a football fan who likes all of the Buffalo Bills (wish more did now
, but that was a sign of the times), Katie wants to be a special ed teacher around the 8th-9th grade level. Cheryl also wants to be a special ed teacher around 6th-8th grade, and Mark is interested in karate currently at yellow belt and wanting to go further.
Map: Pirate's Cove. Round 1 is Sunken Ship, Round 2 is Skull Island. Both enemies are Blackboard the Pirate.
Video Challenges: Sonic the Hedgehog, Toki (played by Katie in round 1 1st, WC was 4800 points in level 1, lost 15 points after losing a life and getting to about 4000), Gaiares (played by Mark in round 2, lost 50 points, WC was 7000 points on level 4-1, lost a lot of lives and got up to about 2500), Ghost Pilots, Legend of the Mystical Ninja (played by Calvin in round 1 2nd, Phil's "song" was about how they were almost out of time [for the round], won 15 points, WC was $60 on level 1, got up to $60 and was a little worried about losing a life but had already met the challenge).
Scores: Yellow team up at the end of round 1 125-25, red team tightened the gap after the round 2 video challenge (they were down 100 going into it) but couldn't take it, I think the final score was 275-125, but I know for sure the 2nd round goal decided the game.
Bonus round: Level 1 was Jungle Fever (Calvin, got the 3rd bananas with 1 power bar left), Level 2 was Nile River Raft (Katie, fairly generic run), and Level 3 was Mongo (entered with 23 seconds, immediately zapped power to force a restart but ended up in position, won at the buzzer with Calvin on top and Katie on bottom; hourglass barely showed when the 3rd orb was grabbed).
Prizes: Singing Machine, Commodore Amiga 500, and trip to Universal Studios staying at Orlando Marriott. Obviously all were won.
Misc.: Phil did a sort of finger pointing dance when he entered, Outro for round 1 was a flash to Mikey giving the thumbs up. I do also know one of the video puzzles was Hyper Channels talking about MC Hammer. Right after that, Mark and Cheryl had a bit of a delay picking which way to go to head to the pop quiz, which MAY have prevented them from picking the Goal in round 2.
And that's what I know about the episode. Hopefully this information is found well. One thing that seems common with the "lost episodes", based on information from other sites was Gaiares being in the Video Challenge. It would not surprise me if Gaiares was played on all of these "lost episodes", and Telnet Japan forbid Nick GAS from showing the game being played.
