TPIR 2nd edition home game
DoND handheld, tabletop, board, DVD, and card games
1 vs. 100 card game
Break the Bank from the 70s
WWTBAM? tabletop, handheld, and board games

And I just picked up the 1 vs. 100 tabletop and DVD games at Target (if you're looking to grab these two, check your local Target stores.  I found the   1 vs. 100 DVD game for $7.50, and tabletop for $12.50 at my store.  They also have the Family Feud tabletop game for $10.00).

I also just got a 25th Anniversary Pressman Wheel of Fortune.  Seems kinda' weird having a permanent Free Spin disc stuck to the wheel.  But I kinda' made some extra wedges out of posterboard anyway.  'Cause you gotta' have two Bankrupts!

I hate the puzzleboard, though.  Never liked Pressman's puzzleboard once I got a Tyco game eons ago.  Easier to see letters and the spaces that were used, nicer flaps, not having to forage through a book for every called letter... I need to get myself a Tyco set somehow.  Pressman wheel, Tyco puzzleboard, good times.

Did you have this one?


I remember playing it when I was a kid and my parents making fun of Vanna "moonwalking" over to the letters. I recently fished it out and managed to get DOSBox to run it on Linux.

I remember playing that one at a daycare. Vanna with red hair? Anyways, I forgot to mention that, in addition to my prevoius post, I have Simpsons Jeopardy! I also no longer have the Millionaire Board Game. And I know this doesn't count, but I have Tribond, which I know about because it was advertised on Wheel.

Heh...daycare?  We played that game in computer class...in eighth grade.  That's a mark on how old the computers were, not me...Windows 98 had just been released, but we were learning about computers that still couldn't play much more than Wheel of Fortune.  :)

Yes, daycare. A room full of Tandy 400s. It was 1997-1998. They had Super NESes too. The place needed stuff to keep kids distracted, so they wouldn't go for their favorite pastime: Bullying.

I have
 - TPiR 2nd Edition (1972/1973) that I bought on Ebay a few years back.
 - $20,000 Pyramid "inherited" from my grandparents.
 - Family Feud 2nd Edition (1978/1979) "inherited."
 - Jeopardy! 9th Edition (1970-something?), "inherited."
 - Password 2nd Edition (1999, maybe?) purchased at Toys R Us.  My grandparents had two different Password games from the 60s/70s, but I passed on them.

I couldn't find the 80's version of Wheel Of Fortune at my grandparents, or I would have had that.  At one point I had the WoF Deluxe edition with the spinning wheel with tabs to put $5000, $2500 and extra Bankrupt spaces and Deluxe 80s Jeopardy!  I played both to death as a kid (I'm 30 now) so they were eventually thrown out.

My cousins and I pretty much played J!, Pyramid and FF to death as kids, so the boxes are pretty tore up, but I still wanted them for sentimental reasons.

I would love to have the 80s $25,000/$100,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark on the box...it appears occasionally on Ebay, but usually sells for more than I'm willing to pay.

About the only one I have right now is the TPiR DVD game (which I happened to grab for $1 at a garage sale, still in the shrinkwrap.)  I distinctly remember owning that old CGA graphics Wheel of Fortune game though, as well as other DOS game show stuff (Classic Concentration was another one, and I think there was a Family Feud as well, but I didn't have that.)

Oh yeah, I had the GameTek CGA WoF, Jeopardy! and Classic Concentration, as well as Family Feud, though I've misplaced Feud. Never liked Jeopardy much because you had to properly select "WHAT IS"/"WHO IS"/"WHO ARE" etc. as well as spell the answer correctly. I read a review of a TPIR game they did once. Here's a review, though I remember reading one by an LFAT that was much less kind.

If anyone is still looking to grab the TPIR DVD game, check your Target store.  I just picked the game up for a whopping total of $4.50.

Yes, $4.50.

I think we used to play this in grade 1. Is this the game that played "The Stars & Stripes Forever" after you solved a puzzle?

Yeah. Yeah, it did. I had forgotten about that. That was weird.

All I have right now is the TPIR 2nd Edition (2004).  I used to have the Wheel of Fortune Travel Edition, but it's since been lost in time.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I also have one of those Wheel of Fortune hand-held games (same as the Travel Edition?). With the expansion puzzle packs, that thing could provide hours of fun and was great on long car trips.  :-D
