Contestant: Mike Russo

Mike Russo was indeed a special STARCADE! player. He was one of only two contestants who appeared on 3 STARCADE! shows ... #34, #38 - a Dragon's Lair Special show, and #99 - another Dragon's Lair Special where he played a very special role.

Mike first show #34 was taped when he was 13 years old.

Games on show #34: Zoar, Stargate, Stern's Journey, Star Trek and Galaxian. Grand Prize: Munch Mobile Video Arcade Game.

When we taped our second Dragon's Lair special (Show #99), we invited Mike to come back and play the game from the beginning to the end for the show. Seemed the right choice given his performance on Show #38.

Mike said he wanted to be on Starcade, "To win a video game." And win he did...just about everything we offered, he took home. He was a great player.

In his brief bio, Mike said, "my favorite rock group is Prince"

In that same bios, Mike said his hobbies were "playing basketball, baseball, football and I love playing video games."

My best subject is Math."

After the taping of his first show, Mike sent flowers to the entire crew with the following note:

"To the crew. Thanks for letting me be on the show and WIN, WIN, WIN. Mike Russo."

You're welcome.
