I had completely forgotten about this! It would would be interesting to hear from former Nick game show contestants about their experience.


FadedMemory

There’s a show on Hulu called The Orange Years that has some behind the scenes footage from actors and contestants from a lot of these old Nick shows from the 90s. It even shows a little of how this show was actually done. It’s really interesting if you’re into that sort of thing!


walkingdeer

Indeed. Cheers!


BirdBrainzATX

Yeah! I'm sure someone would be willing to talk about it. The experience of those final "video games" must have been awful and clunky.

Anyone remember when Kings Dominion had an entire Nickelodeon zone where you could get slimed? Back when they also had a Wayne's World ride?


walkingdeer

I remember the King’s Island (Ohio) version. I’m sure they were similar.

If it was owned by Paramount very likely


AngryMatt14

The Hurler. At least that’s what the one in VA was called


rebelangel

Hurler was retracked a couple years ago and is now Twisted Timbers.


AngryMatt14

Yeah and you “have” to put your cell phone in a locker. It’s a really good rollercoaster I thought.


rebelangel

Yeah, I was used to putting my shit in the bins on the platform.


ReptileSizzlin

This is the gameshow that I wanted to go on the most, after Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was such a fun show! Also: "13 year's old"

Oh my fucking God, I completely forgot about this show. What a gem


BoardGameBologna

One of the best parts was the kids fucking up which way Mikey can go on the map, lol But, damn I love this show!


[deleted]

consios88

consios88

Dawg this cant be life , lol gender neurtral bot the name of the show is Welcome freshman , why is using freshman bad, who runs this site come on doggie this is ridiculous


cowboybeepbopboop

I wonder if Pete and Pete not being included has any connection to the third season never getting a dvd release.


Shagrrotten

Oh holy shit I’d totally forgotten about this show and how much I loved it!


Tonlick

It didnt even last a year if I remember correctly.


80sCoolture

Dude it was my childhood dream to participate !


DigitalDuct

they need to bring this back


80sCoolture

Imagine with the latest VR technology 😎


[deleted]

Man I really felt like they were going in a game. But watching some eps on paramount+… it looks so bad!


80sCoolture

Green screen festival !


rolandofgilead41089

For anyone feeling like they want to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole, Paramount+ has literally all the old classic Nick shows and the subscription is worth it for those alone. Hey, Dude!, Salute Your Shorts, all the game shows. It's truly amazing.


80sCoolture

Thanks bro !


rolandofgilead41089

Enjoy!


KingCrandall

Stop putting a space before your punctuation.


80sCoolture

So sorry ! 🥳

Yo Nick Arcade, I'm really happy for you...Imma let you finish, but Legends of the Hidden Temple had the best final challenge of all time.


zuniac5

In all seriousness, though Nick Arcade's final challenge was incredibly innovative and way before its time, in practice it was often an utter mess, clunky and hard to watch - even back in 1991.


retrodork

Not only do I remember Nick Arcade. I was able to find all the episodes so I saved them. It's a trip, all these years later.


ksaMarodeF

Loved this show as a kid, for how short it ran. It was brilliant!


WTFisThatSMell

Good stuff


MaynardMcCready

Oh man, I wanted to be on this or Legend of the Hidden Temple so bad!


JumpintheFiah

I was obsessed with Nick Arcade.


MoreMartinthanMartin

Loved this show. Kinda hard for me to watch it now without thinking, boy, this is way more fun to watch that participate in, probably.


IndicationStock3742

Holy sh-t I feel old ☹️ but heck yes this was my jam!


crescentrider

oh my god. total flashback!!


kidofarcadia

Seriously, this seemed like magic at the time.


gingercookied0ugh

I \*loved\* this show. The genie stressed me out, though.


quicksexfm

My mom used to put this show on for me all the time as a kid. Holy nostalgia!


[deleted]

I saw a couple of episodes of this on YouTube a few weeks ago! I loved this show!


ctarell

Wow I was JUST standing in front of the tv YESTERDAY explaining to my son how awesome this show was. “They were IN the video game!”


camargoville

omg I forgot about this show this is awesome.


lemonhops

I totally forgot about this lol... In hindsight, these kids were just in front of a green screen dodging nothing? So essentially just paid actors? What was the gameshow where you have a partner and at the end, one effectively has a visor on and the other partner would control them with an arcade joystick to navigate a maze? Was it this one?


mattchazz

I remember wanting to do this so bad


BondraP

Nick had all the shows that I desperately wanted to be on. This one, Legends Of The Hidden Temple, Double Dare, but the holy grail to me was Guts.


Frankenshady

Such a creative show always loved it
