Contestants: Peter & Paul Karmouche

Luck was not with them that July day with the Olenczuk's winning every competition AND the Grand Prize game Moon Patrol.

But it was all in fun and the Karmouche's did leave with some of Starcade's 'lovely parting gifts!"

Games on the Karmouche's show: Tron, Moon Patrol, Super Cobra, Space Invaders and Tazzmania.

Paul was 14 when he appeared on Starcade! with his Dad. Pole Position was his favorite game and he liked to 'play his Atari 2600 in his spare time. (Paul tells us he still has his Atari 2600 and still plays it 'once in a while.'  

' He and his Dad planned to take a motorcycle ride from California to Oshkosh, Wisconsin the summer of '83.

When Starcade! was taped, Peter (Dad) had a commercial pilot's license and Paul was helping him build his own plane in their garage. Paul inherited his Dad's love of aviation, and tells us that he (Paul) got his pilot's license at 16. 

Paul says, "I can remember getting the postcard to 'try out' for Starade. What a treat! Apparently they (the Starcade Producers) found my father and I interesting enough to have on a show - too bad I bombed so badly ... oh the pressure :)"

Great to hear from you Paul!
