This unaired pilot for Nick Arcade should take you way, way back

Any good fan of both video games and ‘90s television directed at adolescents has surely partaken in at least a little Nick Arcade, a green-screen heavy game show that aired on Nickelodeon from 1992-1993. And while the show that most of us saw was hosted by the effervescent Phil Moore, a Neil Sherman-hosted pilot for the program has surfaced online. Made on a much smaller scale, the Nick Arcade pilot involved a lot more televisions and a lot fewer video screens, though contestants could still face off in challenges like “Hold It Sucker” and “Bad Karma, Dude.” Winners could take home Casio keyboards, an Amiga 500, and a Magnavox Radio/Cassette Recorder, all of which date the show just about as much as the games within, Sherman’s shirt, or, really, anything else contained in the video below. Seriously—it’s a video time machine. Watch it and go way back. [via Kotaku]
