GAME SHOW LINKS
ClassicGameShows.com
Mike Klauss has many exclusive promotional images from Hit Man, and Randy Amasia's Whew! page still stands here.
Page O'Clips
If only NBC saw feasibility in a Most Outrageous Game Show Moments series (they probably were desperate enough until Donald Trump walked in the door, but I digress). But you can assemble your own clip shows with these gems.
Game Show News Net
Chico Alexander, Jason Elliott, and Gordon Pepper team up for this site filled with news, recaps, and opinion. All genres of TV contests are covered here, from Family Feud to American Idol to Poker Royale, and even Extreme Dodgeball. It's the also only game show site I know of with an internet adaption of Pardon the Interruption. And I've unofficially become the Reali to their Kornheiser and Wilbon.
T.Q.'s Game Show and Reality Show Theme Page
From All-Star Blitz to Your Number's Up and nearly everything in between.
FiveLetterWord.com
Can't wait for Lingo? Test your word-solving skills here.
Game Show Central
Includes a(n almost) complete directory of The Price is Right pricing games, as well the most comprehensive guide to Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck on the net.
Game Show Galaxy
Features rulesheets to 30 games, plus John Ricci's Combination Lock and five other unsold pilots.
Game Show Pilot Light
Michael Burger's page looks at game shows that looked different in development, and some that didn't make it to the airwaves. No, contrary to popular belief, it's not that Michael Burger.
Randy West
On the other hand, this is that Randy West. No matter how well-known Ryan Seacrest is for American Idol, Randy can vouch for the existence of Wild Animal Games. J
John Lee 24/7
He's not only a game show fan, he's also a fan of A*Teens, ABBA, and the Go-Go's. He also has a column, What on Earth?.
Game Show Compendium
Who would have ever thought there would be over 1,700 game show pages out there? Matt Ottinger, one of Ken Jennings's many victims on Jeopardy!, has proof. (Keep an eye out for the link to my page!) And while you're there, visit his Bill Cullen fan page and The Game Show Home Game Home Page (which also includes a link back here J).
Game Shows '75
Maybe I was destined to be a game show junkie because I was born in 1975, possibly the year of the biggest game show crop ever. This page features tidbits on classics from that year such as Match Game PM and clunkers like The Money Maze. Two of these are still going strong over thirty years later!
The International Game Shows SFX Library
This is the real game show warehouse, with over 26MB of game show .wav's from all over the world!
JD's Dazzling Game Show Page
Press Your Luck makes up the bulk of his site, but Jason Hernandez is about the only one brave enough to immortalize Patrick Wayne's version of Tic Tac Dough. (I didn't think it was that bad, but I was young then.)
Oddchange.com
Brian Dominy, the original creator of PYL GameControl, now has a Java version that you can play here (Note: works best on Linux systems).
PYL Board Configurations
Christopher Yoder's page is just like my page at the Whammy Warehouse, only better. It includes the 1986 Home Player Sweepstakes Grand Prize board, as well as configurations for PYL's other incarnations, Second Chance and Whammy!.
The Double Dare SuperSite,
The Fun House Factory
In the late-1980s I was addicted to these two messy kids' game shows. In fact, I even contributed to both pages.
EPISODE GUIDES Find out who won what where!
NETGAMES Internet adaptions of past and present game shows. You name it, there's probably been a netgame based on it.
'Net ShowDown
Joe Van Ginkel brings The Big ShowDown to a new generation of contestants.
The Big Risk
You have to be both lucky and good to win this game. When I played, I was neither. Not only did I finish in last place, but I also posted the third-lowest score in the game's history, ahead of only the two players who busted out. (Winnings: CY$250 house minimum)
'Net Poker
I did a little better in Doug Morris's poker game. I caught a break in the first elimination round when my opponent had problems buzzing in, but in the championship round I snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on a bad beat. (Winnings: CY$5,200)
Trivia on Tap
At Chris Wolvie's trivia bar, you don't have to be 21 to play along. If you want a drink, though, you'll have need to bring your ID.
'Netgames on Yahoo! Groups
The 'netgame headquarters, and the exclusive home to 'Net Deal or No Deal, the return of 'Net Fast and First, and the debut of 'Net Power of 10.
DOWNLOADS Download some more of your favorite games to play on your PC!
Necrodome
The Whammy!-ized version of the PYL game above.
Jim's PYL Slides
Another addendum to Curt's PYL game, but Jim Balcerek's slides make it look even more realistic.
PYL Expert Edition
...and Chris Yoder did just that. His site includes new 21st Century features I hope to add to future editions of GameControl.
BigJon's PC Games
Features Whammy!, Russian Roulette, Greed, Card Sharks, Make the Grade, Blockbusters, and The Price is Right featuring Tournament and TV modes.
Basic Games
Found at Ryan Morris's The Facts of Life Fanfiction site. Interesting combination, and you'll see the ramifications in the credits.
JRJ Games
John Ricci Jr.'s DOS-based recreations of such games as The Joker's Wild, Bullseye, and one of the hardest games to program, Blockbusters (I know, I tried).
YAHOO! GROUPS
The Opening Credits Squad
Our salute to one of TV's dying arts, including a new theme song posted every week!
Closing Logo Group
From an early age I was fascinated by TV and movie logos, and you'll see that I'm not the only one. Just watch out for the V of Doom.
Playground CLG
Some members of the above group starting making short films, and it slowly evolved into a revolution that even spawned its own viral video network. Keep watching in the months to come for new concepts from yours truly!
The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera
From Scooby-Doo to Dexter's Lab and everything in between, we have it here.
The Promo Station
Relive the days when NBC really was Must-See TV.
Station Identification
Ever wonder what the logo of the NBC affiliate in Kansas City, Missouri looked like in 1994? By the way, anyone, even non-members, can post here.
Around the Horn
Discusses the only discussion show on TV with mute buttons. And yes, that's me writing the (usually) daily recaps.
WEB ENTERTAINMENT
Homestar Runner Wiki
Here's the ultimate fan page for the above site, with transcripts and other useless trivia.
Al Gore Does Pyramid
Hmm, could that be the former Vice President on one of the Pyramid pilots? See how he does here.
Osama bin Laden Has Nowhere to Hide
You haven't lived until seen President Bush play the bongos. WARNING: Contains strong language and lots and lots of bombs.
Irrational Exuberance (aka Yatta!)
ANOTHER WARNING: Contains subliminal messages, airbrushed male porn, and deceased restaurant founders. (By the way, in case you don't understand the song, it's mostly in Japanese. Learn all about it here.)
Iraqi Information Minister
So this is what Baghdad Bob is reduced to. That's what you get for reporting the Kansas City Royals have won the World Series.
