How would you revive...Tic Tac Dough?
TheInquisitiveOne:
I would keep TTD the same way as with the 1970s/80s version, straddling and all. The only change I would make is this:
If a champion wins five front games in a row, he or she wins a car. If a champion wins a 10th game, he or she will win an additional $50,000 and retires undefeated.
I agree that the \"Face the Dragon\" endgame should be kept, as long as the graphics are better. :)

\"Tic Tac Dough\" may count as a hard quiz with strategy when you're age eight or ten, but it's not exactly GE College Bowl. I always found the questions rather easy, and the strategy is tic-tac-toe, for Pete's sake. Chickens play it on state fair midways. Not that I didn't enjoy it, mind you.
I thought it was at its best, well, when Thom McKee was playing, or when you had a good string of tie games going. To have that, the games have to straddle episodes, syndicator be damned. The front game is what it is. The only thing I'd suggest is the occasional witty category--not Ben Stein so much as \"You Don't Know Jack\" (computerized, not ABC's).
The bonus game needs work, as TJW's and Bulleye's would, too. Picking a number one to nine requires even less strategy than tic-tac-toe. \"Split Second\" was all luck, but at least that was dramatic. There ought to at least be risk involved. Maybe there should be a couple of endgames, alternating between the two for a little variety.

Here is how I'd revive it...
Same Front Game rules, just inflated amounts...
$750 for the outside boxes, $1,500 for the center box
Same Bonus Game rules (circa 1980 syndie) just Inflated amounts... ($2,000 beats the dragon, and wins you a $12,000 to $17,000 prize package)
Every 5th time you play Beat The Dragon, you play for a prize package with a $40,000 to $60,000 car added
As for set... USE MY DESIGN! (link below)

As for music... Use the classic theme. It's one of the best GS themes ever.

13 weeks and out. IF you can find a packager who will touch your budget with a fifty-foot pole.

...and would be so dated in 2003 that it would be utterly laughable.

I said, should there be a 1-1 tie in the game to find the challenger to face the champ, a speed-up round will be played.
Plus...all squares but the center will be worth $300.
