You can't help but like Geoff Edwards...occasional corny jokes aside, he just seemed like a genuinely nice and friendly guy. And the fact that he liked and played video games himself made him even cooler. God bless him...may he rest in peace.
The truth was it was Starcade that made him enjoy video games. Before it he knew very little about them but adapted rather quickly and played them all the way to his passing. RIP Geoff.
I’d sure like to have that dedicated Mappy arcade game. I only saw one in my lifetime with that huge marquee and it had been converted to Junior PAC MAN. So many games on this series that are quite rare if not extinct now.
@@thechefsoffice I agree, play very bad, then you get to compete against someone who has no skills, just like the poor kid in Episode 50 on this channel, he got destroyed and looked like he was going to cry.
Poor Tom. He didn't have a chance. I don't see how he was matched up with Jordan. Jordan was even good at Munch Mobile, which most contestants seemed to struggle on.

He was a very good host.
Agreed! Check him out on his masterpiece in the Game Show archives: Treasure Hunt!
RIP Geoff.
Wow this channel is really cranking out the episodes!!

Try to find a local barcade near you. I've seen one that had a mappy.
Besides this episode, the only other time I remember Geoff giving free quarters to the losing contestant was episode 34 (Jared Cruce).
Did that guy, Tom (I think), ever write any famous books?
Also, the metal detector as a prize makes me laugh every time.
First prize, a metal detector, second prize is every atari video game or a bike... lol
C'mon Bro... 🤨
"Okay fat and happy and full of gas." - Geoff Edwards 😂... 😹
*"NUFF SAID"™*
Jordan seems like a rich kid who probably had an arcade in his home. Was probably buddies with Ricky in Silver Spoons.
nice

The illusion is gone. No way in hell they’re matched on playing ability.
Tom had no skill. Poor guy was embarrassed.
I always thought the show was lying about the “game playing ability” aspect of the show.
@@veggieoilerfan2940 i think some of the contestants intentionally played horrible when they tried out so they could easily win.

Sandbaggers!
Tom, despite his horrendous game playing, comes across as an Andrew Garfield or Cillian Murphy.
yum
