I wouldn't swear to this, but I think JC was already a member of GR.net, so that could explain that.

Yeah, he came to g-r first to garner feedback/support for their first PiR game, and has used that as his 'base of operations' for reaching out to the fans ever since.

Yeah, he was already a member for the first PiR game, but that's just bad research. I'm not saying that the G-R members are mindless fanbois or anything, but that's just bad research on their part. If I'm going to be involved in anything that can be improved upon by fan feedback, I'm going to go to more than one source to do my homework.

You operate under the assumption that the true cause for his involvement there is primarily development feedback.

Let's get away from "Press Your Luck" for just a second, and announce the release of another game show video game...

"Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader: Game Time" (For the Wii, Xbox 360 and DS)

Graphics look better than the "Make the Grade" version, released last year. I've ordered the game on Amazon, so it should arrive in the mail soon.

Deluxe "Deal Or No Deal" is on sale for 50% off at Toys 'R' Us, just $12.49 on the web site and in stores.  I saw this at the Council Bluffs, IA location tonight.  Funny that Amazon wants $34.99 for it.  The store claimed it was only on sale for two days, October 30 and 31.  Those who collect versions of the game might find this an agreeable price...I know I did!  

I also picked up Mega Monopoly for $20.14 for my 'regular' board game collection.  Web site says $19.49 on this one.

Found the PYL handheld game at the local Mal-Wart on clearance for $2.  Still overpriced.

especially when you stopped an arrow at a money amount, and it showed a whammy on screen

How hard is that? Why would you even BOTHER with any kind of what-space-is-worth-most logic?[/quote]

Heh, too funny.  This made me laugh.   There are some great aspects to the game, but some major pitfalls.  The code above references once of those pitfalls.

Ok another small pet peeve. I don't know if this was just a one time fluke or what but when the computer was spinning with passed spins, she landed on $500 + One spin, but the 1 spin never entered her earn column and it was never addressed at the end of her turn, just the end of the round. First time I noticed it, but Ill pay attention if it keeps happening. Also at the end when someone wins, the big board doesn't flash all of the spaces simultaneously like during the tv game when someone won. I know I'm nit picking, but if they want to make it authentic, then fix the little things.

Well Uncle P, as I have said before, hope the SD Edition comes to pass...you would be the game show home game god if it came true.

Damn straight, though I have to admit it's hard for me to keep the site current with the new releases.  I do appreciate the help I'm getting from some of you, even if I don't always get a chance to tell you directly.

By the way, for those of you keeping score, Travis and I are tied at one each in giving assistance to Endless Games for the release of one of their products.  Mine was somewhat less publicized.

I may have a jump on you by one.  Last year, I designed a "Grab 'N' Go" Price is Right that was never published.  I say "may" because, even though it was not released, I still got paid for it.

Any help that you can give on my new one, Matt, would be greatly appreciated, and credited.
