Contestant: Stephen Beall

Stephen was on one of the first STARCADE! shows taped. It was show #7 for us and became show #14 for airing. The host was Mark Richards (now that was an early show). Show #14, taped when Stephen was 14 years old

Games on Stephen's show: Ms. Pac Man, Super Pac Man, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong, and Pac Man.

Grand Prize: Popeye. Mike's opponent (Mike McEuen won the game.)

Stephen was called in for contestant tryouts after he sent us a postcard in February 1983 asking to a contestant.

Reason he wanted to be on STARCADE!: "Because I'm an avid video game play, and I like to watch the show...even if I am not a winner it will be something I will remember for the rest of my life...I like to joke around a lot and all my friends think I'm a funny guy."

Prizes won: Redline Bike

Today Stephen is in business with another STARCADE! contestant Damon Claussen. They own Blast From the Past reconditioning and selling the classic video arcade games they played on STARCADE!
