Game Show Home Games That Wouldn't Work

[Matt Ottinger]

As the proud owner of a couple of The Ol' Guy's games (including a kick-butt Chain Reaction), let me say that he's not talking about scribbling some notes on index cards and calling that a home game.  His games are fully-realized boxes with one eye toward playability and another toward real-world cost-effectiveness.  The only thing his games lack is the superficial sheen that would come from mass production.

Why not?  It would be as dull as the MG '7X and Hollywood Squares home games,

That's why.

I mean, it's possible, but what for?

I sent Jay Wolpert copies of a Hit Man and a Whew home game, and he was very complementary about them. ... Hit Man characters were on magnetic dots which looked great on the Triple Crown bonus. Include a cassette (today a CD)... [/quote]

Au contraire!  Make it a DVD!  Probably a way to put the questions on the disc too, as with those Trivial Pursuit games, but I think it'd be more fun to have players switch off serving as MC.

As for the Triple Crown, rather than magnets, how 'bout that static-cling stuff Colorforms are made of?  (Or "were made of," perhaps I should say.)

All in all, though, concerning your home games, and Matt's praise of 'em, I have just one more question: When can we see pictures?
