There are versions of Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Family Feud, Classic Concentration, Super Password, Wipeout, Win Lose or Draw, Hollywood Squares, Now You See It, Card Sharks, Press Your Luck, Double Dare, High Rollers, $100,000 Pyramid and the really awful Price is Right. There may be more that I haven't found as well.

Many thanks! Oddly I had a friend who suggested trying video games to help during this time, so this helps there.
The Super Password game is really addictive and a pretty solid interpretation of the show. I know an NES version was to come but never made it....all the same, the computer with the keyboard makes it an easier play as you can quickly type out answers.
OT, but I saw the PC version of Donkey Kong here too....yeesh, I heard you had to adjust the speed as the game on an emulator plays too fast and the first barrel hits you within a second. Still true.

If you're in the market for an original Now You See It home game, here's one that's never been opened for, uh, 90 bucks.

I think I'd get this first for $39.99, even though it's terribly discolored.

No, I haven't seen Card Sharks available yet, but I did see in my local Dollar Tree store that EG has released Jeopardy! and WOF card games for $1 in smaller sets. The J! game is ONLY ONE "episode" worth of material (54 cards), and WOF has 44 puzzle cards and 10 "wheel" cards.
