Video Power ran for 2 seasons (1990-2), but was really a tale of two different shows.
The first season, as you'll see, has host Johnny Arcade (actor Stivi Paskoski) sharing info on the hottest video games on the market. The centerpiece was the DIC-produced action series, The Power Team, a collection of video game heroes whose games were marketed by Acclaim. DIC, of course, was the go-to for most video game marketers for adaptations, as they also were responsible for Nintendo's Super Mario Bros & Captain N The Game Master over on NBC.
However, in season 2, Johnny Arcade became a game show host, and the cartoons were discarded. Cancellation soon followed. This wasn't the 2nd coming of Starcade, but don't fault them for trying.
Here's the series opener. We'll see if we can find a season 2 episode.
No rating.
