Contestant: Noe Reyes & Marco Torres - Show #108
Checked In 2004
12/20/83



Noe appeared with his uncle Marco Torres as a team on show #108. They were a great team ... beating their competition, a mother/son team, by 27,000+ points.  They were actually running second by 11,000+ points until the second game when they answered the question correctly winning the right to pick the next playing game.  They chose Change Lanes, a high scoring game and came back strong, scoring 38,303 more points than their competition.

Continuing their winning strategy, they won the right to pick the third game played and chose Elevator Action, a low scoring game.  This strategy prevented their competition from catching up.  They won the overall competition AND the Grand Prize game.

Noe played Snake Pit to win a Super Zaxxon video arcade game which he tells us, "is now long gone SADLY."

According to Noe, Starcade! "was a great experience...Geoff was a really nice guy, too."

"I feel bad though in the 'swagger' my uncle and I had going up against the mother/son team (Wolski/Byrd).  We should of been more graceful in retrospect.  Overall a great experience and after the show they (meaning the Producers of Starcade!) let us rampage through their arcade for the afternoon." Yes, we did.  During the taping of a Starcade! show, our arcade consisted of approximately 90 of the latest and greatest video arcade games, all on free play in Studio 2.

Marco tells us, he became an IT professional with a career centered around technology management and software development. When he's not ITing, Marco plays with his band 'phfit', playing modern and classic rock tunes. According to Marco, "my nephew received the lion's share of the spoils from out winnings."
