1. What was the opening sequence?

2. Was the player area the same?

3. Was the game still $250 a game, $50 a square if time is called, winner gets a car? Or was the "pick a star, win a prize" bonus in effect?

4. Was the Rhodes Productions logo in-credit, or did it follow the credits?

Nope. It was a representation of your symbol on the readout board if you won a game. Thus, if X won three games and O won two, you'd see "XXX" and "OO" instead of "750" and "500". There was also no Secret Square. The winner qualified for an end-of-season $100,000 tournament. All shows were self-contained.

As far as I can remember, it was the exact same as the Hollywood version..."One of these stars is sitting in the secret sqaure..."

Boy, would that be a neat trick, since not two posts above this one we had already established that the Vegas version HAD NO Secret Square.

(Damn, folks. Do your homework.)

Sorry...I'm unable to open the sound files here at work and was going from (what I thought) was a good memory!

Besides, that was the first mistake I've ever made on this board :)

Basically the same as the last years of the NBC run--with the same squares set they'd always used.

Ah, so the grid's the same, and they had the podium area that looked like a cross between the original Marshall set and the MG/HS set?  Now, someone said the contestants' podium no longer had a money indicator, so would that mean a minor change there?

No. They said that the readout wasn't used to display money, not that there was no money indicator.

Thought so.  Must have missed the readout specifically being mentioned.

Let's cut Ian some slack...he's a veteran of both the forum and the old-school ATGS, and def not the type to post info unless he thought for sure it was accurate...I had a few "manufactured memories" of my own in the GS dept. while younger that were later proven to be untrue.

Me three.  :)  For a long time, I harbored the belief that the "change any one card per line" rule on CS had actually existed in the Perry version (never happened--it was Eubanks/Rafferty all the way).

Comes with old age.  ;-)
