RoboSports AI to Relaunch Iconic 1980s Game Show “Starcade Live” in 2026: A New Era of Interactive Gaming
RoboSports AI has secured the exclusive rights to reboot the beloved 1980s game show, Starcade, introducing “Starcade Live” slated for 2026. This innovative program will leverage artificial intelligence to deliver a unique hybrid experience combining live-streamed gameplay with real-time audience interaction, reimagining classic arcade competition for a modern audience.
Originally aired from 1982 to 1984 on TBS, Starcade was the first television game show dedicated solely to video gaming, marking a milestone in spectator entertainment long before platforms like Twitch and esports became prevalent. RoboSports AI aims to honor this legacy while incorporating cutting-edge technology to engage today’s gamers and fans.
Key Features of Starcade Live
- Interactive Livestreams: Viewers will have the ability to influence challenges and outcomes in real time.
- Hybrid Competitions: The show will blend nostalgic arcade classics with contemporary titles, appealing to a diverse gaming audience.
- Focus on Creators: The format will highlight popular streamers and gaming personalities to foster a creator-first environment.
Jeremy Whitham, founder of RoboSports AI, expressed enthusiasm about the revival. “Before Twitch existed, there was Starcade. We’re excited to bring back this legacy by integrating AI-powered arcade cabinets that facilitate live interactions between players and fans.”
The official website, StarcadeLive.com, will serve as a hub for fans, providing access to casting calls and updates as the project evolves. The production is in development with efforts to engage investors and the gaming community, including a planned Kickstarter campaign for early 2026.
Mavis E. Arthur, co-creator of the original Starcade, shared her excitement about the relaunch. “Our viewers were always more than spectators; they were part of the experience. I am thrilled to see Starcade returning for both original fans and new audiences to discover the excitement of arcade competition.”
