MIKE McEUEN
Show #14 & #38
Taped: 3/11/1983 & 7/28/1983
Mike
appeared on two STARCADE! shows. Show #14 was taped when Mike was 13
years old. He was a great player so we invited him back to play on a very
special STARCADE! show #38 - a Dragon's Lair special. The ONLY game played
was the laser disc game Dragon's Lair. Mike competed against three other STARCADE!
champions.
Mike
wrote in his mini-autobiography: "In my spare time: I drop rocks or
explode Pookas and Fugars in Dig Dub, encircle the other lightcycle in
Tron and get back at Mario in Donkey Kong Jr."
Mike showed up on taping day with a present - a STARCADE! maze (you know, mazes
-- you try to get from point A to point B) ... and believe it not, we
still have it! Speaking of that -- having it, Mike says he still has the video arcade game he won: "I still have my Popeye arcade game, with my high score at 256,000. I still play videogames, mainly on the Playstation, and I don't think I'll ever
give them up. I thought I might 'grow out of them,' but I find myself
still playing them until the wee hours of the night."
In 2000 Mike said, "I work freelance as a videographer and as a film camera assistant on independent films and documentaries." See the photo of Mike aboard the USS Essex, a Marine troop transport ship. He was aboard filming a documentary on the Marine Corps. "I also have been making my own short films/videos since high school. I'll be moving to France for a while to be with my girlfriend, as well as to find work in my field."
Great to hear you're enjoying your life -- and you're in showbiz! So many Starcaders are ...
