Title: "Gold Rush"

There under "Original Games" there is a game called "Gold Rush". I, for one, think it's damn entertaining. What do you guys think? Would it work as a game show?

The only suggestion I can think of is to revamp it with new sound cues, but other than that, it seems like a good, fast-paced trivia game.

You mean that asinine game where you pick a cell, and win what's behind it?

Why not just bring back "Press Your Luck" instead?  At least you get to whack a buzzer and yell STOP!

I suppose if you got rid of the 'trivia' element, it could barely pass as a lottery show, but just barely.

DELETED!

More to the point, how the hell do you run the other stuff? I don't see a single executable in the MGHSH package.

Sounds like the "Wisconsin State Lottery Moneygame" to me.

The winner [after choosing letters in the shows name] then got to spin a wheel that had, if I recall, 6 $25,000 spaces and 2 $50,000 spaces. Ooh, the excitement.

I blame Dan Sadro for having it avaiable on his trading list.  Gosh, it was horrible.

At the bottom of the http://basicgames.folff.com/ (http://\"http://basicgames.folff.com/\") homepage, you'll find the link to download the Learn To Program BASIC Standalone Runner.  You'll need that to run all the programs Ryan's programmed.

Used to live in Wisconsin -- I believe it was 8 25K's and 4 50K's.

No, not the best of lottery shows, but you don't want to complicate it too much.
