Video Power was a terrible show, but in the early 90s, actually having a show about videogames was batshit insane, and I did not miss an episode, knowing it was bad even as a 13yo kid. There was nearly no other video content out there, with rare exception. Gaming was still considered very nerdy and niche, and it wasn't until the Playstation era where it became mainstream and not just a "kids' thing." I have a couple episodes on vhs, but haven't found any in the wild.
As someone who lives close enough to Port Washington, WI that I spent a significant amount of my childhood in that city, it always seemed so weird to me that he lived there for a time.
I saw him on a gas station ad screen a few years ago. Which is not meant to be insulting, I'm happy the guy is working and hope he enjoys whatever he's doing. But it was an odd moment seeing an 80s star on a gas station screen in the 2020s.
He was pretty fuckin awesome in that one movie. The college one with the suicidal roommate. I can never remember the name of it even tho I’ve seen it like ten times

Funny how I used to think he looked old for the part, and now I think he looks like a kid

Wasn't he by all accounts a huge asshole?

Kevin & Bean from KROQ threw him out of an interview because he was such a dick.

He was a moderate asshole. He was a MASSIVE moron though and thats a terrible combination.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Zack, seems to be doing okay. He is still acting and is in great shape

I also randomly got that video of him on stage in the belly shirt in my algo. Making me feel fucking lazy as shit.

Mario Lopez had a pretty successful career as far as c tier celebs go. Mark Paul Gossleir has had a solid tv career, as well.
