Three players, compete in "Temptation: Arcade Mode", a video arcade shopping game show where they can buy merchandise prizes (from the ordinary to the ornate) at greatly reduced prices., in this Sale of the Century/Nick Arcade crossover
The show starts off with the "face-off", a thirty-second match on a video game, and the high scoring player received $5 and control of the board while the other 2 players received $20. The object of the game was to move mikey, an animated video character, from one side of the board to a predetermined goal. The Team in control decided which way to move. Each square they landed on contained either puzzles to solve, a pop quiz question about sports, a video challenge or the "Fame Game" on which a team could win a prize or additional money added to their score from a nine-square board consists of pictures of celebrities (nine network only) by buzzing in and answering a "Who am I?" question., if s/he lands on the fame game the first time a $10 value is up there, 2nd time a $15 is up added, 3rd time $25 is added, and burgular symbol which confetti will fall on the studio and allows you to take $5 off your score to the opponent, A video challenge meant the team that was in control got to choose which of the five video games they want to played. The Contestant played the game after using a Magna Doodle, wrote down how much money they want to wager (If the player has $20 or less, the maximum wager was $20), after the Video Challenge, the player adds the score from the video challenge to their winnings. A team lost control of the game board and $10 when "Mikey" landed on a "game over" square or when it missed a question. During each round, the team that was in the lead was offered in Round 1 the vault, The player with the highest amount of money at the time of the game has the opportunity to grab a random monetary amount - ranging between $1 and $5000 - at a cost of $10 of their score. The range counter spins and only stops when the player buzzes in. They get to keep whatever amount comes up.
"Instant bargain" (only in rounds 2 or higher) which could be purchased with the player's accumulated cash total (example: a Autographed Bat for $10). The first player to reach the goal in the first round could earn $20 by correctly answering a question chosen from three possible categories by the 2 opponents.
A second round was played almost the same rules as the first. Dollar values were doubled but instead of a goal, there was a "Sixty-Zecond Speed Zone" where each rapid-fire question added or deducted $10 from the players' scores in the final 60 seconds. After the "speed zone", the player with the most money won the game and played for additional cash added to their bankroll.
The winning player will play one more game and tried to complete three tasks of a video game in sixty seconds. Each game had three parts to be completed. The first task for $25 if completed, The second for $50, and attempted The final task for $100. After the three task game, the team could either use their winnings to purchase prizes from VSN (Video Shopping Network) or come back to the next show and earn more. The prizes were offered at greatly reduced prices, with the more expensive prizes requiring more cash to be entitled to buy them. The wizard's cash jackpot started at $50,000 and increased $1000 a day until claimed. Any team was lucky enough to win everything left over with over $100,000 in cash and prizes if they accumulated at least $1,000 in winnings (as mentioned in the opening spiel).
Alternate: The champion faced a 20-number board and chose squares one at a time, looking to match two squares with the same prize and win that prize. The board concealed six prizes worth between $2500 and $15,000, the car, $5000 cash, $10,000 cash, and two wildcards, which when revealed gave the contestant the next prize they chose automatically., and s/he matched 2 wildcards then s/he wins everything.
