How would you revive...Tic Tac Dough?

Here are the pics of the set. I think there a bit better than the old design, but that's for you to decide.

--- Quote ---Of the 9 categories, the champion will have the honor of removing one of the catagories of there choosing. Those 8 categories will be shuffled along the board, as well as the mean ol' really bad CG looking Dragon as well. (had to carry somthing over from the old show). The object of the game will be to make $1000 or make a Side to side, up and down, or diagonal \"Tic Tac Dough\". How do they do that you ask? Well, a light will be bouncing around the board (ala PYL) and the champ will have a plunger in front of them. When they stop the board, it will land on a square, they answer a question on the square's category, and you will receive $200, and a X in the square, an incorrect answer will give you no money and an O in that square. You can stop any time and take the money you've accumulated. BUT if you make it completely impossible for you to win, or you hit the dragon, you lose EVERYTHING you've accumulated in the bonus game. BUT if you make a \"Tic Tac Dough\" or make $1,000, you win a prize package worth over $12,000! (NOTE!!! when you put an X or O in the square, the light won't \"bounce\" on that square anymore).

Sounds good, but a version I have in mind would involve squares numbered 1-9, with all the questions being from just one category, either predetermined by the staff, or chosen by the champion from a list. The champion will choose the square, then answer a question; square #5 is a 2-part question. Correct answer earns a \"$\" [dollar sign] in that square, but incorrect or no answer means a dragon[roar sound effect]. Three dragons in a row, and you lose; three dollar signs in a row, and you win either a prize package [self-contained version] or 10x the amount earned in the main game [straddled version]. A \"cat's game\" is worth $1000 unless there are five dragons, in which case, it's worth nothing.

I'd keep the basic essentials of the Winker's Version, and yes, this would straddle.
I'd use TTD90's values: $1,000 for center, $500 for other boxes. In case of a tie, pot carries over to next board.
Bonus Round: I'd mix TTD90 elements here. Maybe use the same bonus round, but instead of a \"Dragon Slayer\", you got a \"Golden X/O\". The \"Golden X/O\" works the same way as TTD90's Dragon Slayer: Doubles the pot and you win automatically. If this doesn't work, the classic \"TIC\" and \"TAC\" could also work. You could also lose if you get TTD with the other symbol.
Theme: Keep the 1970s theme. Nothing wrong with it.

Interesting that this should come up. I posted an idea on the GSN boards, here it is:
As always, two contestants compete. Each regular box is worth $500 into the pot with a correct answer, and the center box is worth $1,000 to the pot. First to a Tic Tac Dough wins. If there is a tie, the values increase by $500 for each tie. In addition, there are two black squares on the board (ala the CBS run in '78.) They can pop up under any category at any time. When a square is black, it is a jump-in question in that category. Also, the TTD90 shuffling rule is used here (it was the one good thing about that version)
In the bonus round, four of the nine squares hold prizes, four have a $ which is worth a progressive amount ($1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000), and the Dragon (not rapping, thank God.) The squares are shuffled and covered. The contestant picks one at a time and can stop after each pick. If the Dragon is picked they lose everything. If all eight safe squares can be picked, the contestant wins everything on the board plus a car.

Yes. And that's a problem.
