My belated reply to this thread:
The intention of my original post was NOT "Please do the work for me." It was to ask the group at large for suggestions about software that is currently available. If I have to make something myself, then I will take a crash course in Powerpoint, Flash or whatever. If I do decide to use someone's software, I will contact the designer/programmer and he will get full credit for his creation.
I'm not planning on doing this just so that I can call myself a game show host. I want to create something different than the usual panels and provide some entertainment for fellow attendees. I have respect for people like Greg and Brian who have been hosting anime game show panels for years and doing it really well. I'm subscribed to both of their YouTube channels, and I look forward to whatever comes next from them.
This idea of me running game show panels is currently conceptual. I may do something six months from now...or I may never do anything. There are many details to go over, including question writing, presentation, promotion and if the games will be played just for fun or for actual prizes. I picked Family Feud because it is currently on the air and well-known, you can have eight or ten people playing at once, and there are chances for comedy. I chose Press Your Luck because it can be an exciting game for an audience, I can easily write trivia questions, and the Big Board software does a lot of the work. I could certainly pick other titles from the game show catalog instead.
I hosted 'NetGames for eight years and retired in 2008. I'm fully aware that running a game show online through E-mail or in a chat room is a completely different experience from having a live audience and nervous contestants. I have time to practice, but again, this is all a concept right now and I may not pursue this depending on various things in the coming months.
Thanks to anyone who can and has offered advice. If anything comes from this, I'll let you all know.
