In 1983 and 1984 I produced and directed a local Colorado Springs TV show called "Video Game All Stars," which aired on KOAA TV, channels 5 and 30, the NBC affiliate. There were only 3 episodes produced. I consulted with my friend, experienced TV professional Larry Frost before getting started, and then hired Wes Rogers to host the first episode. He interviewed players and did a few stand-ups. Clips from this show are now being shown in the Smithsonian Museum of American History in the "Pause & Reply" display.

Highlights include the early 1980s coin-op video games, the big Eighties fashions, hairstyles and the players' funny descriptions of how they beat the games.
