CRAIG ELARIO
Show #72 & #78
Taped: 6/8/1983 & 7/29/1983
Craig was a Junior at UC Berkeley and had a part-time job at a local video arcade, which he described this way, "I got offered a good job that I could work around my school hours at an arcade..." where his interest in video games "bloomed tremendously".
His goal was "to become a Doctor, Professional Athlete or an Actor." We're not sure what profession he chose - he did not tell us when he checked in in 2014 and again in 2018. He did tell us: "It was a great show and I had a fabulous time on it."
Craig's favorite activities were "playing video games, soccer, bowling, softball, basketball, racquetball" ... whew we're tired already. Let us know where you've been since your Starcade! appearance.
Craig won pretty much every prize offered on his show including the video arcade game Munch Mobile. It was a close match - only 540 points separated the two competitors - but in the end Craig came out in front. We invited Craig back to play against 3 other STARCADE! winners in the Invitational show #78.
