We Got 'Em Mall
or Time Portal

Which Face Off Game would you avatar play:

or Post Haste

What spaces would your avatar choose to move Mikey too:
Bonus Points

Prizes
Goal

Which team would the avatar play on, Red or Yellow?

For those unfamiliar with Nick Arcade, its a game show that ran from 1991-1992 on television in which two teams compete to win cash and prizes by earning the most points in 2 rounds for a shot at entering a Video Game known as the Video Zone, to take on the Game Wizard.

In the Television show, the 5 Consoles that were featured in the Video Challenge was the Nintendo NES, SEGA Genesis, Super Nintendo, Neo Geo & TurboGrafx 16

The Video Puzzles that are seen in the Television show were:
Video Repairman
What was that
Credit Crawl
Fast Forward
Robot Vision
Hyper Channels
Video Text
Flash Frame
Hidden Camera
Instant Replay
Split Screen
and Mixed Signals

The Television show had 2 hazard spaces on the game board:
Time Bomb (which appears after Mikey moves to a space he's already been too), when landed on, the current team turn who's controlling Mikey needs to correctly spell a word to maintain control of Mikey, if that team is unable to do so, then that team's turn ends & control of Mikey goes to the other team.
Regardless of the outcome of the Time Bomb space, no points are awarded.
Also in the Television show, in later episodes, this space would not be used as much. One such Episode to use the Time Bomb space was Episode 7 of Season 1. There is also one episode where the Time Bomb space was used twice.

Enemy, which when landed on, causes the current team turn who's controlling Mikey to end and then the other team gets to control where Mikey moves on the game board.

Pirate's Cove sounds cool. I would play Star Defenders. Probably would move Mikey to Video Challenges and be on the Red team.

I'll see if I can find a Episode of Nick Arcade which features the Pirate's Cove Game Boards then make an OOC game where all 3 Levels of the Video Zone are won.

As there are several Game Boards for Mikey's World in the Television Show, there's 9 Different Video Enemies depending on which Game Board is used for that show...


As mentioned before, this is one of Two Spaces that the Controlling Team needs to avoid while the other space is Time Bomb. If a the Controlling Team lands on either one of them, that player loses control of Mikey if that Space is the Video Enemy or the team is unable to correctly spell a word to maintain control of Mikey if that Space is a Time Bomb.

Also in the Television show, The Time Bomb space would be blocked in later episodes since that team would not be able to make that move to that space & in earlier episodes, landing on the Time Bomb Space would be a rare occurrence.

Truth be told, I literally have no idea what this show's about or anything about it. I didn't have cable when I was a kid to watch Nickelodeon. But if I have to choose: Cape Cosmos, Brainstorm, Video Puzzles, and Red; I guess.

Did you know that Nick Arcade first aired on January 4, my birthday?
I was 4 years old when it first premiered on Nickelodeon.

I should explain more about the Face-Off Games that were used in the Toss Ups as they're divided into 3 kinds of Face Off Video Games on the Television Show. During the Face Off, The player with the highest score wins that Face Off and gains initial control of Mikey in the Mikey's World Game Board after scoring 25 Points in Round 1 or 50 Points in Round 2:
= Pong
Star Defenders: Each player must defend his/her Space Station from incoming comets.
Battle of the Bands: Each player must defend his/her Speaker Amplifiers from incoming sound waves
Brainstorm: Each player must defend his/her Cerebral Cortex from incoming Nerve impulses.
= Shooter
Meteoroids: Each Player must move their crosshairs to shoot down asteroids, meteors & ships flying past the view screen.
Laser Surgeon: Each Player must move their crosshairs to shoot down viral cells infecting the patient's bloodstream.
= Race
Crater Rangers: Each player must drive his/her ATV over landscapes while dodge obstacles.
Post Haste: Inspired by Paperboy, each player must move his/her mailman down the street while dodge obstacles.
Jet Jocks: Each player must drive his/her Jet Ski downriver while dodge obstacles.

Hello, So if your Mermaid Ruby avi was on Nick Arcade, what game would she play after her Red Team lands on the Video Challenge Space?
Be sure to include the System that game is for.
One Example:
Get Medieval = Windows
Marvel Land = Arcade
Animaniacs = SEGA Genesis
Sonic Jam: Sonic the Hedgehog = SEGA Saturn
Highway Hunter = DOS

Here's an example of some Video Challenge Game Consoles that could be used for a Nick Arcade Game, that's featured in the actual Television show:
SEGA Genesis
Super Nintendo
Nintendo
TurboGrafx 16
Neo Geo

But in an OOC Game, more systems could be used:
Atari 2600
Atari 5200
ColecoVision
Vectrex
SEGA 32x
SEGA CD
TurboGrafx CD
Arcade
Windows
DOS
SEGA Saturn
Atari Jaguar
Nintendo 64
Panasonic 3DO
PlayStation
PlayStation 2
SEGA Dreamcast
PlayStation 3
PlayStation 4
Atari Lynx
Game Boy/Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Neo Geo Pocket/Neo Geo Pocket Color
Game Gear
Master System
and more

Sometimes in Nick Arcade, there would be Special Episodes.

During the Special Episodes, no matter who wins the game, the Champion Team & Runner-Up Team gets $250 to $500 while completing the Video Zone from Start to Finish gets $500 to $1,000 both teams played the Video Zone in this case, with one member for each team doing the Wizard Level.

The are a total of 3 Special Episodes in Nick Arcade:
Welcome Freshman
Salute Your Shorts
and
Clarissa Explains It All

One thing to note is that in the Nick Arcade Pilot is that there were 7 Video Challenges instead of 5 & the Points were Translated into Dollars at the end of the Game during the Pilot
