Twitch has nailed down the start of its Starcade marathon... and unlike many of its other marathons, it won't just involve playing episodes back to back. It'll stream the arcade-themed game show on Shout! Factory's channel starting August 28th at 2PM ET. The focus is on playing all 123 episodes digitized from the source tapes, but there's a modern twist: Geek & Sundry host and streaming veteran Erika Ishii will introduce games and provide context. You shouldn't be lost if you're too young to have played the games outside of an emulator.

I saw Starcade in the title and thought "Why is twitch going to marathon a wrestling ppv?"

That was my first thoughts as well

 

[Bronx-Man]

I too thought this was a massive bing of every WCW Starcade ever.

Imagine the Twitch chat when it got to '97!

 

[DMczaf]

 

[MechaX]

My rage has returned

Fuck Nash

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Would definitely prefer WCW ppv marathon.

::edit:: fuck, that awesome third post

That is Starrcade.

And Vince doesn’t know what Twitch is, maybe he will stream it on Tout.

Came for the WCW, leave disappointed ☹️

 

[Snaku]

When a man's heart is full of deceit...
It burns up, dies...
And a dark shadow falls over his soul...
From the ashes of a once great man, has risen a curse...
A wrong that must be righted...
We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black hearts
of the same man who created him... The battle between good, and evil has begun...
Against an army of shadows, lies a dark warrior...
The prevailer of good...
With a voice of silence...
And a mission of justice...
This is Sting.

 

[G-Fex]

Streaming veteran lol

[The Elite]

You can marathon Starcade all you like on the WWE Network for $9.99 USD.

 

[Rvaan]

Because watching wrestling with twitch chat would be DELIGHTFUL.

 

[itwasTuesday]

This is STARCADE, now here is your host of Starcade, Alex TREBEK

 

[Kensation]

"Twitch this, brother!"

 

[SparkleMotion]

This topic is now an excuse to post wrestling gifs.

 

[Zach]

Lots of cool WCW fanz in this thread.

 

[NastyBook]

WCW had the best PPV names.

 

[Geist-]

I suddenly want a WCW marathon.

 

[bjork]

The worst episode of the game show Starcade is better than anything WCW ever did ever.

 

[Bronx-Man]

[Travo]

I was kind of looking forward to watching the eighties Starcades again.

 

[Shin K Dash]

Came in the thread happy. Left disappointed... Guess I shouldn't be surprised. WWE would never let twitch stream them anyways

 

[Penguin]

I suddenly want a WCW marathon.

I don't think you know what you're asking for...

 

[Fox318]

 

[ryutaro's mama]

My rage has returned

Fuck Nash

I was so heated when that schmaaze happened.

 

[Zubz]

Seems fitting; Starcade re-runs were like a proto-Twitch for Young Zubz. I'll try to catch some reruns!

 

[slightconfuse]

Should have been a wreslting marathon

Twitch needs some juice

 

[compo]

As someone who didn't know what either Starcade or Starrcade was, I can say that you guys successfully confused the shit out of me for a few minutes.

 

[Samuraicop]

Everytime I see this it kills me, only reason I clicked the thread because I thought it was WWE feelsbadman

ScarrBlade daddeh!!

 

[SparkleMotion]

[Zombie James]

Fuck, I was seriously excited thinking it was 90s wrestling.

[PartTimeWarrior]

Observe this, brother

 

[smurfx]

You can marathon Starcade all you like on the WWE Network for $9.99 USD.

whoa! only 9.99 a month?

 

[SparkleMotion]

whoa! only 9.99 a month?

Yeah! It's like Netflix...but better!

 

[Skatterd]

I demand a twitch marathon of WCW ppvs now.

 

[Zombie James]

Can I get this in Canada without subscribing to cable, yet?

 

[Sinatar]

If you use a VPN when you sign up you can. Of course you need to remember that WWE funded Trump's presidency, so your money is literally going to nazi supporters.

 

[Entropia]

Wrong Starcade.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Worked yourselves into a shoot, marks

 

[jstripes]

I confused this with Saturday Morning Supercade, which was a half hour of terrible arcade game based cartoons.
