Video Power is an American television series that aired in two different formats from 1990 to 1992 in syndication. Both formats revolved around video games, and actor Stivi Paskoski presided over both series playing video game master Johnny Arcade.

Allen J. Bohbot (CEO and Founder of Bohbot Entertainment) was the co-creator and co executive producer of Video Power with Saban Entertainment's founder as well Video Power creator and executive producer himself Haim Saban, along with Shuki Levy and Winston Richard. The series was taped in New York City at Kaufman Astoria Studios.

The first format of Video Power consisted of both live-action segments and cartoon segments from the Acclaim Entertainment-produced series, The Power Team. The cartoon was an adventure featuring Johnny Arcade and a team of heroes from different NES games and a Game Boy game published by Acclaim: Max Force, a policeman from NARC; Kuros, the knight from Wizards and Warriors; Tyrone, a basketball player from Arch Rivals; Kwirk, a tomato from the game of the same name; and Bigfoot, a monster truck that had its own video game. The main enemy of each episode was mostly Mr. Big and his thugs, Joe Rockhead and Dr. Spike Rush, from NARC. Outside of the crime factor, Malkil from Wizards and Warriors sometimes appeared, and was a much more sophisticated and intelligent villain. One episode did have the villains from NARC fighting the Power Team, who were suddenly interrupted by the appearance of Malkil. Mr. Big fails to understand magic, but elects to forge an alliance with Malkil to try to get rid of the Power Team.

In the live action segments, Stivi Paskoski, in character, would review and preview games that were currently out or forthcoming for consoles. When giving hints and tips for gamers that were having trouble achieving certain tasks in games, he would end the tip giving segment with the phrase, "and that's the Video Power Edge!". Sometimes he would go to an expo or a convention to show the booths of forthcoming titles. Viewers were also able to write into the show to receive hints.

For the show's second season which began in the fall of 1991, the producers of Video Power completely overhauled its format and turned it into a game show. Paskoski was joined by Terry Lee Torok, a former Nintendo of America employee who also was the MC at many Nintendo events, including the Nintendo World Championships, who was officially the show's co-host but performed much of the actual hosting duties himself. An in-house band was also added and led by keyboardist Steve Treccase, who had previously been on the MTV game show Remote Control.

Torok would go into the audience for this first segment after introducing Johnny Arcade, searching for four pre-chosen children to ask Johnny questions (he called this "putting the spot on Johnny by putting Johnny on the spot"). All the questions were game related and Johnny would almost always have the correct answer. In the event that he did not know the answer (an excuse was always prepared for those instances), the audience would yell out "stump, stump, stump" and the child would receive a prize. The four audience members chosen served as that day's players.

The four players began by playing an elimination round, where they were given 2:02 to play an NES game or rarely a different game system (on some shows, the time limits were 1:01 and 1:41). The two players with the highest "score", which varied based on the game that was being played, advanced to the next round.

The scores, as noted above, were tallied in various ways. For example, when playing Bases Loaded 3, the two winners would be the players who had scored the most runs within the time limit. If no runs were scored, then the winners were based on how many balls versus strikes were called against the contestant. When playing Little Nemo: The Dream Master, the scoring was based on how many keys were picked up and, if that resulted in a tie, how "far" in the level the contestants reached.
