Did anyone here get anything game-related for the holidays? I got a few things: The Wheel of Fortune Deluxe board game (pretty fun), Deal or No Deal PC game (Highly recommended, nice job with everything), the Family Feud PC game (pretty much a piece) and a Jeopardy! 2007 day calendar.

What did everyone else receive?

I got the DVD 3-pack of LMaD, Feud, and DoND - haven't had a chance to try them yet. Monty Hall looks very old on the box of LMaD!

I was lucky enough to receive a DoND board game and the Amazing Race DVD Board game.

Ryan :)

/Yes, I know, technically the industry calls TAR a reality show but I don't necessarily subscribe to that.
//This is my first time doing slashes and I think it will be one of my last...

I got the Match Game DVD from a loving daughter who scoured three counties to search for it, and when she still couldn't find it, ordered it online.

I think she's getting that Ipod she wants for her birthday.

I would imagine that the MG DVD might have been under a lot of our trees this year, unless one (like me!) grew impatient to wait until Christmas and got it when it came out.

I got a hand-held DoND game and a WOF plug and play game.

I received the DoND board game and PC game

My wife and my mother outdid themselves this year. They scoured eBay and got me all this swag...

- TPIR stainless travelling coffee cup
- TPIR hat
- TPIR black polo shirt
- TPIR denim jacket
- TPIR DVD Game
- DoND tabletop electronic game

They know me so well. :)

The DoND handheld game

and...

the $100,000 DVD Game. (Scathing review coming sometime....)

/For those who haven't watched the credits of that game, you can tell the designers HAD good intentions, except they went south. Screencap coming soon...
//Match Game DVD coming with Best Buy gift cards received. :)

I may be getting myself the Card Sharks board game from the local Five Below

The DoND card game also keeps catching my eye.

I got the DOND handheld...pretty nice little game.

Deal or No Deal plug and play game
Deal or No Deal PC game
Unused Ticket & Playbill to Jeopardy!'s 2002 $1,000,000 masters game, and 2006's Celebrity Jeopardy
The Amazing Race DVD game
And about 10 old game show board games (1950's-1970's)

I got the LMAD DVD game & the DoND PC game. The PC game was a subsitute for the DVD version that I asked for because the DVD game got negative reviews as far as awkward glitches & such accirding to my sister-in-law. Hence, the PC game. I'll need to get installation privilages back first before I can play it(minor issue there). Maybe I'll get a chance to experiment with the LMAD DVD game later this week because right now, it's kinda busy with the transition from Christmas to New Year's in full effect.

LMaD DVD game
TPiR DVD game
DoND DVD game (Which is so slow...)
Newlywed Game DVD game
$100,000 Pyramid DVD game
Family Feud second edition DVD game

As if the show it's modeled on is a model of breakneck pacing.

(Yes, I'm sure you're referring to the operation of the DVD, but I couldn't resist.)

I did buy myself Card Sharks and the Donnymid game from Five Below because at the very least, they could be useful elsewhere. (My 3rd edition 20K game is missing its decoder and who couldn't use two decks of cards?)

I forgot to mention that my dad got me The Ultimate TV Game Show Book for Hanukkah. Last year, he got me the TPIR DVD game and the GS Encyclopedia the year before.

I got the Match Game DVD. I actually had it in my hand the day it was released, but decided to wait and let someone else get it for me! :)

Pardon the Train. But that sounds Like The $100,000 Pyramid DVD Game I got for Christmas. The Subjects Take for ever to show up, and after passing/Illegal clue. And you can only pick from 3 at a time (Starting at the Bottom). Not the greatest game, but it's OK every once in a while.

I got the DoND board game, and a couple of Price is Right scratch-off tickets from the Texas Lottery.

I just got the DoND box game yesterday as a gift from my brother-in-law and his family. Surprisingly, it's actually a pretty good game to play, at least if you play with more than two people (i.e., one host and one contestant). We played with 6 people, which made for a rather long game (at least 2 hours) since each person gets to be both a host and a contestant once; I think the optimal number is probably 4. Distributing the briefcases among the players who are not the current host or contestant and letting them guess at what is in their briefcases before they are revealed keeps everyone involved and makes the game far more interesting than a simple port of the TV version (which is pretty much what the 2-player instructions describe). Also, the fact that the host has to pay the contestant out of his own money makes it more challenging. (This part is quite similar to the way both the MB and Ideal home versions of LMAD operated, which should not be surprising since DoND and LMAD are very similar concepts, as we have noted in previous threads.)

After too many uncomfortable years of my antique-loving mother finding old games for me that, naturally, I already had, now she just gives me cash to buy whatever I hadn't already picked up. So now I'm caught up on the DVD games. Thanks, mom.

I got a game show for Christmas and didn't know it--even though I picked it out myself! It was one of those $1 DVD's, and it was listed on the front as "Johnny Carson and friends." There were two shows that Carson did for CBS, a Burns and Allen show and one ep of You Bet Your Life.

I, too, got the Match Game DVD and TAR DVD Game.

MG DVD Set

A late addition, since it just showed up today: I got "Absolutely MAD," a DVD-ROM including every MAD magazine from the beginning to December 2005. It includes a full-text search, so I know that their first mention of "The Price Is Right" was in Issue #45, in which a panel of 12 editors of college humor magazines named it the "worst regular TV show" of 1958. There is also a small Wally Wood illustration of Bill Cullen with a couple of contestants and a woman in a harem outfit.

Broderbund tried this years ago with a multi-CD set, but the browser that came with it really sucked and the files were proprietary, so you couldn't use something else to view them if you wanted to.

Did they fix that? Are the individual files of a standard format, like a PDF?

Yep, they're PDFs. Therefore, the DVD works in my Mac, unlike the Broderbund set.
