Show Summary
- Ended
Gamesmaster was more of a games show than a game show involving two or three challenges per show. These challenges saw people come on the programme and playing a game (usually arcade or console). It was the first video games programme. One challenge per show involved a celebrity taking part and these challenges involved commentary by a non-entity from the video games press e.g. Dave "Games Animal" Perry.
Anyone who completed a challenge or got a better score than his or her opponent was presented with a Golden Gamesmaster Joystick.
The series was presented by Scottish stand up comedian Dominik Diamond (who now is currently a reporter for the newspaper The Daily Star). However, Dexter Fletcher presented Series 3. (No proper reason has been confirmed why Dominik didn't present this series.)
The show also feature reviews of the latest games. Most episodes during the first four series saw kids come on the show and ask the Gamesmaster: an animated head of astronomer Patrick Moore for tips and cheats on console games. The Gamesmaster also introduced each challenge.
