Nickelodeon Arcade

This show tested kids knowledge and skill of videogames and allowed the winners to actually be in one.

The first round compsed of the two teams facing off in a timed game to determine who has first control of the game, and give 25 points for the 1st round and 50 for the 2nd.

The next round requires the players to move a character named "Mikey" through a board game-like maze. Every space he moves will have something hidden on it.

"Points" - Free points for the controlling team.

"Prize" - Free prize for the controlling team.

"Pop Quiz" - A toss-up question is asked for points.

"Enemy" - Control is passed to the other team.

"Video Puzzle" - A puzzle is shown and the teams have to guess what it is.

"Video Challenge" - This space allows the team to got to the arcade to play a game of their choice. One player chooses how much to wager of their score, and the other has to compete a challenge in a game of their choice. This could include getting a score in a set amount of time, collect a number of items in a time or other challenges. Completing the challenge adds their wager to their score, and not completing it will deduct from their score. The game is taken out for the rest of the show. Consoles used on the show were Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, NEC TurboGrafx 16 and Neo Geo AES.

"Time Bomb" - only used if Mikey has to land a space already taken. The two players on the team had to spell a word in ten seconds alternating between each other when spelling.

"Goal" - The team who reached it would earn 50 points after picking a question category and answering the question. If time is short, Mikey will be moved automatically to it and a sudden death toss-up question is asked.

The final round for the winning team had the two players go through an actual game in three parts in a set amount of time. They had to complete each segment without running out of power. If they run out, they had to start again.
