Title: TPiR designated game replacements?
Post by: JayC on November 06, 2003, 05:36:20 PM

Do some games act as designated replacements for other games incase they breakdown?  Here are a few backups for some games

1. Take Two for Race Game (could be either away though)
2. Most Expensive for either Barkers Markers or Buy or Sell
3. Money Game for any car game except Three Strikes or Triple Play (Unless its for 1 car, like the siutation that happened the other day)
4. Push Over, Squeeze Play, Coming or Going, or Double Prices for Range Game
5. Lucky Seven for Pathfinder or Five Price Tags
6. Bargain Bar for Magic #

Can you think of other games that would be good last minute replacements for these games or other games?

 No, it can't.  What on Take Two can break down?

 Ostensibly, the eggcrate could. Although I suppose you could get through the game without it.

 Are you really suggesting that the lights that show how many choices a player has could break down?  I would have figured those were just some sort of light bulb of which they have a bunch in stock, behind a blue (IIRC -- I don't watch the show much) filter.

I would have guessed Five Price Tags would be a replacement for Switcheroo, where the eggcrate or the flip displays could break down.

This thread has made me think about the two pricing games which were played for the first time this season earlier this week and the one which hasn't been played yet.  Is it possible that Pick a Number, Joker, and Shell Game have been relegated to emergency replacement status as none of these games have any electronic features?

 Or, with the exception of Shell Game, entertainment value? ;)

 Speaking of which, why didn't they take an ax to the Bonus Game when the much more entertaining Shell Game was introduced? Exactly the same game, except for three-quarters of the Bonus Game being rendered moot once they flip the lights on.
