Yes...you could buy them separately. I remember getting The Eliminator for Christmas 1992, and being disappointed at how little excitement it really offered...

By the way, anyone know where to get a functioning Quizzard?  The lockout device on mine is busted (all six lights go off whenever anyone buzzes in).

I used to deal with this guy quite a few years ago named Jerry Rakar. I bought many games off of him, as well as pieces for GS games I was missing (things like the overlay and extra spaces from Deluxe Wheel, etc).  I think he had a couple of Quizzards. His prices were pretty good, and he's one heck of a nice guy to deal with. I Googled him and it looks like his site is no longer up. I think it was still up last year.  Last I checked he had about 3000 games for sale (many many GS titles). Of course, some were incomplete so those were the ones he would part out. Let me do some digging and see if he's still selling games.

EDIT: http://www.jrakar.com/glw/boardgames.txt   Still in the biz. The one he has is broken. Sorry. You might want to contact him he may be able to hook you up. I always liked his site it's plain text and easy to find stuff.

That's not necessarily bad...I have one with a broken buzzer (the dome is broken, the electronics are fine), and a broken one might be useful for parts. I think I may look this guy up.

I'm a 50s/60s game kind of guy:
Say When!
Make a Face
Play Your Hunch
Seven Keys
Video Village
Twenty-One
What's My Line
...to name a few.

My oddest is the "chocolate" edition of WWTBAM.  I'm kind of scared to open that one now...

Okay, let's see what I can remember that I've got, off the top of my head.  I've been a home game junkie since about 2nd grade, so they've accumulated over the years.  Naturally, eBay has helped/been a plague.

1 vs. 100
The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime
$25,000 Pyramid (Cardinal & Endless versions)
$1,000,000 Pyramid (Endless tin)
Blockbusters (MB)
Super Blockbusters (UK)
Card Sharks
Cash Cab
Classic Concentration
Deal or No Deal (mini-case)
Double Dare (original + "Wet & Wild")
Family Feud (MB 2nd, Endless 1st & 3rd)
Finders Keepers
High Rollers (Parker Brothers)
Hollywood Squares (Parker Brothers)
Jackpot!
Jeopardy! (Electric)
Password (MB 12th, 14th, & 25th; Endless 2nd & 5th tin)
Password Plus (1st)
Million Dollar Password
The Price is Right (MB '86, Endless 2nd, & Irwin tabletop)
Remote Control
Sale of the Century
Weakest Link
Wheel of Fortune (Pressman 1st & Deluxe)

And arriving soon on my doorstep... Aussie Temptation.  Picked it up for $40, including shipping, which ain't bad.

Here's my list:

$ale of the Century
Hollywood Squares(80's version)
The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime
Wheel of Fortune(1st or 2nd edition, can't remember which one & the Deluxe edition with a few pegs missing)

As for the Quizzard, mine's useless without new batteries.  I'll see what I can get in that regard.

You may want to take a look here.  You may want to ask some questions about the functionability of it.

eBay seems to offer them up sporadically.  As per a previous post, Thrift shops will probably give you a much better deal.

I had dealt with Jerry many years back.  His current concentration is not so much into games anymore.

I can tell you he provides the product as noted.   I don't think I got a lot from him, but I believe his pricing was reasonable.  From what I remember, I purchased TPiR 3rd editiong from him for a mere $20.  The contents were in shrink.   Back in the early days of eBay, I remember the third edition going for over $100 in lesser condition.

Amongst many of the games I own, the two I am most proud of are Double Exposure and Top Secret.

That was a pretty awesome snag you got for Top Secret Mark.

My pride and joys are probably The Sky's The Limit and TPiR 3rd, with the contents untouched.
