If you want to have a look on German Gameshows, please visit my site www.gameshow-kult.de (http://\"http://www.gameshow-kult.de\") . It's in German, but you can see many pics and fun stuff of more than 140 shows in the archive. (for example the German Version of "The price is right" or "Let's Make a Deal" ). And there is a archive-special ("Ausland") with italian, french and netherlands shows.

That's brilliant!

SWEET!!!

Google can translate a webpage passably. Go here (http://\"http://www.google.com/language_tools\") and scroll down to "translate a web page". Enter the URL, and select "German to English", and you're in business.
Though, I am a bit amused over the translation of the title "Ruck Zuck"...I don't know if I would have watched a show called "Bruce Forsyth's Jerk Twitch"...

No, there was no winner circle in the show "Die Pyramide" - there was also no winner circle in the french version "Pyramide".
In the newer german version of Pyramide called "Hast du Worte" (you have words?) there was a winner circle ! I'll add the pictures on the next update .
Every Saturday there will be new shows in the archive of www.gameshow-kult.de . Look at the home-page. From 1st to 24th Decembre there will be daily new suprises on the site (for example video samples of shows) !

So, was the endgame not played at all or was there just no "physical" winner's circle?
I can't imagine Pyramid being fun to watch without a WC round. Hell, it was barely watchable with Sony's screwed up "brief the celebs and change camera angles every microsecond" approach.

There was just no "pysical" winner circle in the first version ("Die Pyramide" - weekly (wöchentlich)). In the german version the stage was mobile - so the winners moved automatically to the central position (in front of the "pyramide") and could stay at their chairs.
In the french version there was a desk in front of the pyramid.
In the newer german daily version "hast du Worte" there was a winner circle like in the US-Version.

Not sure on the German version, but the French version's winner circle was played, but it wasn't a carbon copy. You didn't have to give only lists, plus the giver could indicate how on or off topic the receiver was. It also had the most high-concept clocks in game show history with water filling a pyramid.
Main game in the French version however was drastically different:
First round was sort of like Password with betting, the giver would bet a certain amount of words needed for the receiver to get the clue. The giver had a total of 12 clues to bid for the five words. Getting all of the words below bid involved a bonus. After the five words, the received words then formed a puzzle à la Body Language.
Second round was pretty much straight Password. Since this show has been on so long, it is suffering from the problems later Passwords and Pyramids had, the clue givers are too good. One of the words that had to be guessed on an episode I saw was parallelepiped (a three dimensional parallelogram).
Because of the length of the games, there was only one winner's circle/nook/station/whatever. Also, the show tended to have the same celebrities for months at a time.
I once had a best of retrospective of Pyramide, but I lost it. Damn.

Sounds similar to how it was played on the British version...first time I saw the WC on my sole UK ep, I thought to myself "WTF??".

The French WC (La grande pyramide) is 6 phrases (e.g je suis anglais) in 60 seconds. The member of the public always gave the clues.
And Pyramid is coming back to the UK. According to the contestant call it appears that no celebrities will be involved as they were looking for couples to play the game. The show is going to be on the BBC.

"Pyramide" is pretty much an institution in France... it's been on since at least the early 90's. There are "Pyramide" clubs all over France (as is the case with "Questions pour un champion" and "Des Chiffres et Des Lettres").
"Pyramide" has also kept its popularity up after a host and time change in early 2002 in an attempt to launch "Le Juste Euro" (TPIR) ... it went back to the way it was after the massive protest.
Also, I haven't seen the show in a while (don't get TV5 right now, but I don't even think it's on TV5 Canada these days) but there has always been a viewer game that would add time (10 seconds, IIRC) to the Final Pyramid clock.

PS - Ingo: GREAT JOB!

GameshowKult,
Do you know what happened to the Glücksrad fan page? I like the international section of that website.
Do you know of any official online games of game shows in your country?
-Dan

The "Glueckrad FanSite" will be back in a few days.
Online games of older german (Quiz)-Gameshows:
SAT.1 (Quizshow, Quizfire, Millionenquiz, Chance deines Lebens):
http://www.sat1.de/spielegewinne/wissen/ (http://\"http://www.sat1.de/spielegewinne/wissen/\")
RTL (Wer wird Millionär, 21, Deutschlands Klügste):
http://www.rtl.de/quiz/tv_quiz.php (http://\"http://www.rtl.de/quiz/tv_quiz.php\")
There are no other official online games online, because in the moment, there is only "Ruck Zuck" (Hot Streak) and "Wer wird Millionär" (Who wants to be a millionaire) with new episodes on-air in Germany.

Each Saturday there is a new short video of a german gameshow online >> www.gameshowkult.de (http://\"http://www.gameshowkult.de\")
Are there any german shows you would prefer to see in these 2minutes-videoclips ?
