If Password returned,
Chelsea Thrasher:
These words have been repeated countless times on message boards, and probably in meetings when designing revivals:
Person A: The format is fine, *Except I'd change this this, and this*
Folks, if you've got things you wanna change/add/subtract, you obviously \"don't\" think the format is finel
I'd like to say \"Use the Super Password format, leave everything as was\", but there's one thing that's GOTTA be fixed. Change the name of the bonus game BACK to Alphabetics, Dammit. Other than that, IMO, SP had about the best format a Password version could have....
Robert Hutchinson:
My opinion (varying very slightly): SP, with P+ puzzle scoring--that is, with every puzzle making a difference in the outcome of the game.

Pre-Kennedy scoring, you mean. This is a false statement, because all puzzles make a difference in the outcome of P+ and SP.

How so? If the puzzles are scored $100 - $200 - $300 - $300, and game is to $500, then the game is a simple best of three, and the first puzzle is nothing more than a warmup.
Even if one of the later puzzles goes unsolved, it's STILL first-to-solve-two, ignoring the results of the $100 puzzle.
(Now, if I'm misremembering, and the puzzles scored $100 - $200 - $300 - $400, then I will eat my words, but even then it's dependent on either the $200 or $300 puzzle going unsolved.)
zachhoran:
The scoring for SP was 100-200-300-400, and if a puzzle went unsolved, they played another puzzle for the same value. Gene would sometimes say in the end credits that an unguessed puzzle was edited out of the show, or words to that effect.
