Jeopardy!
I've had several computer versions of this game.
An '87 Sharedata version for the Commodore 64
An '89 Sharedata Deluxe edition for the PC, which I don't have anymore
PC edition from 2002 featuring Alex Trebek
Card Sharks
Sharedata from '88 for the Commodore 64
2003 25th Anniversary edition from Endless Games. Comes with survey questions!
I even bought giant cards to play the game with, so it's perfect.
Wheel of Fortune
I've had several versions of the Wheel, some on PC, but they're gone now. The
only Wheel I still have is the 2nd Deluxe Edition with the great replica of the
wheel.
Pyramid
I don't even know when this was made, or who made it, but it was on Commodore 64
and it stunk. Once had a better version on PC, but it never worked, so we
trashed it.
Since then, we have the classic $25,000 box game from Endless Games. Still play
it today.
Tic Tac Dough
Had the home game during the Wink Martindale days of the show, but that was then.
Family Feud
Had an '87 Sharedata for the PC, and it stunk because one person can't play for
a whole family.
Tiger's handheld electronic Feud game from 2000
2005 DVD game with Richard Karn
The Price Is Right
We have both box revivals produced by Endless Games. I personally recommend the
2nd version, created by an actual champion on the show!
Press Your Luck
The original version by GameTek for the Commodore. I thank John Ricci for giving
me a copy, although they couldn't even get the pilot boards right in this. Hey,
they tried.
PYL Control 2.5
OK, so I really downloaded this, not bought it, but this is a great Press Your
Luck game despite its simple look. Hats off to Brian Dominy for giving us PYL
fans a classic to hold on to. Sadly, Brian has taken down his game show pages,
and thus, his game is no longer available for distribution. Furthermore, it is
DOS-based, which means it will not run on Windows 2000 or beyond. If anyone DOES
want it, though, maybe I can help.
PRESS YOUR LUCK 2.00
A fellow named Curt King has his own version of this classic. In terms of
graphics, this puts Brian Dominy's version to shame. He even drew his own prize
squares! In addition, Curt's also put in lots of sound files for the big board,
whammies and other special squares. Best of all, I've got a credit for
beta-testing it and supplying graphics and sounds! YES!!
PRESS YOUR LUCK 3.30
Yes, in recent years, we have been on the hunt again. Chris Yoder, another great
PYL fan, has recruited several other PYL and computer geeks - including myself -
to take Curt's PYL game and make it even better. And oh wow, was he up to the
task. The graphics put my designs to shame, they're that authentic looking. He
even managed to perfect the ability to make the slides "morph" on screen just as
you saw it on the actual show! Bottom line: DOWNLOAD IT!
Well, that's what I've collected over the years. Shows how much of a game show fan I've been, huh?
