Announcer: And here's your host, and no he's not the guy with the visor from Star Trek: The Next Generation, he's Phil Moore! I think... (Phil Moore comes out with a visor like LeVar Burton from Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Game Over the Bully: Hold it right there, pea brain!
Phil Moore: Here's how we play. You're gonna take Mikey, our video adventurer, and move him all around this screen in every direction except diagonally. Now, as you do this, you're gonna run into our "Four P's: " Points, puzzles, pop quizzes and prizes. Now, be careful, 'cause there's an enemy up there, and if you run into him, you lose control of Mikey to the other team. Now, all questions in round one are worth 25 points, and the team with the highest score at the end of two rounds will get to go inside of a video game to face today's game wizard.
(opening tag lines) Andrea Lively: Behind this door is the video zone: a place between our world and the video dimension. Waiting to challenge you for control of the video zone is one of the game wizards. Is it... Merlock... Scorchia... or Mongo? One of these two teams will earn the right to enter the video zone and face the game wizard's challenge. Who will it be? Find out today on... "Nick Arcade!"
