[quote name=\'ITSBRY\' date=\'Jun 17 2003, 10:52 PM\'] The game is exactly same...knock off 9 numbers. [/quote]
I KNEW you were gonna do this.
The object of the front game of High Rollers is to either a) knock off all nine numbers, or b) force your opponent to make a bad roll. To do that, you answer c) questions to gain control of the dice.
The Big Numbers are missing both b) winning by forcing someone (say, the house?) to make a bad roll, and c) questions. Which is not to say I disagree with you that it's very similar to the front game, but if you are going to use that as your golden example, then to throw out CC because it's missing one element from the game is moronic.
Can't comment on Jackpot or Go as I don't remember either of these games.
Jackpot doesn't have an endgame, per se, but I think you misread my reference to the Jackpot round ON Go, which had the entire team (and lesser components thereof) forming questions one word at a time instead of just two players.
I agree with the dismissal of Super Match, though, since matching an audience poll instead of the celebrities is a severe difference. I think that Tammy was referring specifically to the Head-To-Head Match portion of the Super Match, which has somewhat more merit, but I agree is only one part of the larger game.

Not hardly. Never have I seen a player answer a question while shopping. Ever.
Money Maze (one team member directs the spouse through the maze)
Good example here.
Wipeout
Horrible example. The whole \"check your work and then make changes\" facet of the endgame changes the whole thing. This is tantamout to suggesting Bonkers and One Away are the same game. Again, you can't include this and deny me CC at the same time.
I'd add the Showcase from TPiR; you're still trying to find the closest bid, just with multiple prizes
I wouldn't. Might be close to a One Bid, but it certainly has nothing to do with the individual pricing games.
Cross(-)wits, in trying to complete a crossword puzzle
But the key in the front game involved solving the puzzle. Again, you allow me CC, I'll let you have this.
