A consolation prize that was only shown during the original airing of an episode of Nick Arcade.

Status: Partially Found

Nick Arcade is a Nickelodeon game show that ran for two seasons in 1992. The show had two teams of two against each other for an opportunity to enter "The Video Zone" by moving a character called Mikey through a gameboard, answering trivia questions, and playing arcade games. Once a team has been found to enter "The Video Zone," they'll face off in a virtual arcade game in three stages to defeat a final boss, which varies in each episode. They each get a prize for every level they complete, with the grand prize typically being a vacation.

After the show ended, reruns aired on the main channel until September 28, 1997, and later on Nick GAS. However, reruns of most of the episodes had unreasonably altered consolation prize plugs with prizes that came out way after the show's original airing. One example is a Jungle 2 Jungle VHS which came out in 1997. Only five episodes out of 84 had their consolation prize plugs unaltered in reruns which are 107/126/128/137/201. Only 5 of the remaining 78 episodes are found with the original plugs taken from their original airings, those being 120/139/207/213/230. 232 despite airing on GAS has the original plugs on Paramount +, there are still 76 episodes that are lost.

Availability

Thanks to the show altering the consolation plugs, the original ones are difficult to come across after the show concluded. On a fanmade episode guide for the show made by Ryan Rinkerman,[1] some of the original plugs are listed. However, they vary on when the episode aired.[2] Paramount+ has released the show in its entirety but still has most of the altered consolation plugs than what was shown in reruns following the show's conclusion. Other than that, the missing consolation plugs have yet to resurface.

Updates

Episodes 213 and 230 were found on August 28th from an old Nickelodeon Block VHS that was uploaded on Internet Archive a few years ago. The original sneak preview of 131 was found on September 5th by Racelympics thanks to a trade from Brian Moore.
