THE BUCK STOPS HERE (SYNDICATION, 1985)-Jim Peck:
Two couples answer questions to try and run a 60-second clock down to 0 and win big money in this exciting, but terrribly over-acted pilot. ('fair' video) [SM/EM1.3]
 
CELEBRITY DOUBLE DARE (1988)-Bruce Jenner:
An attempted adult version of the popular kids' game, w/some minor format differences and a car as the obstacle course grand prize; guests are Heidi Bohay and Scott Baio. [SM/EM1.4]
 
KING OF THE HILL (VTR 2/7/75)-Robert Earle:
An interesting Q&A game in which three challengers answer questions in order to reach the "King's Territory" and compete against the defending champ for the right to play the "Money Hill" round (a precursor to the Money Cards from "Card Sharks"); has some fun categories, an exciting theme song, and a great set! [SM/168.4]
 
M'AMA, NON M'AMA (ABC, 2 pilots, VTR 12/7/84)-Alex Trebek:
The original North American version of "Love Me, Love Me Not", w/4 panelists, bigger payoffs, and an entirely different set and music than the Ross Shafer version. [both SM/AS4.1-2]
 
NOW YOU SEE IT (SYNDICATED, pilot #2, VTR 10/19/85)-Jack Clark:
A pilot for a revival of the Goodson-Todman word-search game w/teams, a "Pyramid"-esque maingame, and an awful neon-laden set (no video during end of game 2 and most of Solo Game). [SM/PD1.2]
 
RUN FOR THE MONEY (1987)-Bill Rafferty:
An American version of the British Q&A show "Going for Gold" recorded on the set of its UK counterpart. [SM/RR2.9]
 
THE $10,000 SWEEP (1972)-Jack Clark:
A primitve version of "Pyramid" where the host asks a question, and if the correct answer is given, it will lead his/her teammate to the identity of a related person, place, or thing; if a team makes a "sweep" by winning 4 games in a row, they win $10,000! [GSN/CT1.1]

 

TWISTERS (1982)-Jim Perry: A fun game that combines shuffleboard w/elements of "Jackpot" and "Your Number's Up", which also uses the future "$50K a Minute" pilot maingame as its bonus round. [GSN/LS1.2]
