Cute
little Sheri was 12 and in the 7th grade when she appeared on Starcade! playing against a San
Francisco SWAT cop, Don Woolard. It was a close match with Sheri
ahead after two games but the last game was Robotron and that game was
Sheri's downfall with Woolard outscoring her by a mere 1,700 points.
In her Tryout
application Sheri said she wanted, 'to be on tv and a chance to try the
newest video games' and that she had 'a bright and bubbly personality' ...
which she did. Her ambition was to be a professional model.
Games on Sheri's show:
Burning Rubber, Q*Bert, Robotron, Super Zaxxon and Super Pac Man. Grand Prize: Pooyan

she is still as cute as ever.

According
to Sheri, "It was truly a joy being on Starcade!. It was my 15
minutes of fame and the subject of many stories including a few 'most
embarrassing moments (Sheri was a Cheerleader and did a demonstration for
us on the show.) ... I can remember it like it was yesterday. ... It was
so funny to watch the show again (we sent Sheri a copy of her show.). I
could see on my face the complete anger as I lost. You could see I was
trying to cover it up, but it looks like I am wanting to claw my opponents
eyes out as he went on to win (Woolard won the video arcade game that
day). I kicked myself for many years for losing."
"Always with a
smile on my face, do I think of my attendance on Starcade! If you ever
have a reunion show or start something up again, look me up!"
You can count on it, Sheri.
