AWESOME TV SHOW FOR ARCADE GAMES...

[GroovyTuesdaY]

Im pretty certain a good portion of this audiance has heard of the show STARCADE, but i stumbled across a web site dvoted to that old show and its really neat to browse the site and see all the cool stuff listed there.   It has TONS of small videos  to watch too!  Check it out, especially if you are kind of new to the scene or you weren't old enough to play alot of the old classic games in the arcade when they came out.  

I am 32 years old now and have VERY fond thoughts of growing up with  MANY of the old classics that STARCADE  had on its shows.

Enjoy

I have never really ventured into the USENET scene, can someone give some tips on how to set that up and what to look for etc.    ? I keep hearing of all the great things on there , but for a number of years it has always been on my mind to look into it, but i never really did.
Any help would be great

thanks~
