12: Video & Arcade Top 10 w/Brock McLaughlin

BROCK IS BACK! Back Again!

Oh, my fellow Torontonian and cool guy extraordinaire are back to talk about one of the PINNACLE game shows from our childhood!

If you haven't heard of it before here is the copy and paste from Wikipedia to get you up to speed.

Video & Arcade Top 10 was a Canadian game show broadcast on YTV from 1991 to 2006.

Filmed in Toronto, Ontario, it was a competitive game show in which contestants played against each other in video games for prizes, with assorted review and profile segments on current games, music, and movies featured as well.

The main portions of each episode would have four contestants playing one-player modes of video games against each other, typically from Nintendo consoles supported at the time of filming. Two separate games on the same console were played on each episode by two different groups of contestants, with the hosts explaining what needs to be done in order to win each round before gameplay began. Scoring was calculated by having the contestants try and either get the highest score, collect the most of something, maintain the most health, or get the best time in their game, depending on the genre, with a tie-breaking method emphasized on the air in case it was needed.

It's letter time y'all
