Andrew's Page

Contestant: Andrew Pink

Andrew was 19 when his show #126 was taped.  He was attending Jr. College and majoring in accounting. He had just left a job as "petroleum transfer purveyor" (gas station attendant?) and had started as a "purveyor of exquisite cuisine" (fast food checker?) at the local fast food restaurant.  He collected coins and enjoyed music. (And he was obviously, very creative.)

Games On the Show:  Motorace USA, Change Lanes, Sinistar, Mazer Blazer and Krull
Grand Prize: Front Line

Prizes won: Word Feud

Reason he wanted to be on STARCADE!: "I have seen it on TV and think it would be nice to be on the show.

Today Andrew owns his own Process Serving business.  "Who ever thought I would be doing this kind of work now!  When I received your postcard, I really did not give it a second look, and almost threw it away.  When I took a second look, it sure brought back memories.  When I took a closer look, I found my friend on the front of the postcard."

Andrew did not win big but had lots of fun anyway ...  Andrew's  STARCADE memory:

"It has been so long I can't remember the  games I played.  My brother thought it would be fun to try out and it ended up being one of my best friends and I winning.  I remember very well that I did not answer one of the questions correctly."

"I recorded the show with this pretty new gadget called a VCR but only to have my friend tape over it, so it would be great to see the show again. "
