The Big Board / Re: Game Show Home Games/Video Games Thread

Found the Supermarket Sweep game at one of the Atlanta-area Ollie's locations, $4.99 as mentioned above. It was on the board game aisle and not in the seasonal section, so look in both places if you need to.
If I recall, the companion app is no longer supported for SS.

The App still works, they updated it in July and changed a few things. The only thing we have issues with are the Bonus Inflatables, they seem to be a different style of UPC barcode and will not focus and scan. We just make our own rules there.
I asked the company about it and they said they were working on another refresh of the App and that was on the list, but I dont think they have fixed that aspect yet, if they even plan to at all still. However, the regular products scan just fine!

The SS app still scans the product cards.  It is not working with the bonus item cards.  Since bonuses are random amounts from $50-300, multiplying the roll of a d6 by 50 does similar.

I think the author of that article was making a few too many assumptions. I'd love to be proven wrong, but it's probably just selected episodes from each season, and could very well just be the package of season premieres that was previously on streaming.

No official announcement or press release yet, so take this with some salt:

Supposedly, all 41 seasons (!) will be streaming sometime early next year either on Amazon Prime or Hulu.

It looks like it's still there. They did move Press Your Luck, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy to a different "legacy" app, but they seem to still be functional as well.

I have on my phone and everything appears functional, though I don't own the game so I'm not sure if the scanner still works.

Fun thing about that app: It lets you switch countries at will so you can do Aussie DoND with what seems to be a pretty good banker calculator. Which is nice, because the American version on the same app is going to offer you over $250K after your first six cases.

I can't help but wonder how much of the show's reluctance to mention the daytime version is because of Pat Sajak (and possibly Harry Friedman?)

I think it may have been more Merv Griffin's preference not to mention the daytime version (and Chuck Woolery),

Whenever asked about Woolery, and his leaving the show, Pat Sajak would usually just say Woolery, decided to leave to pursue other interests.  The word from Woolery that it was all because of money, existed for a long time, but got more in-depth after Merv Griffin's passing.

Sometime after Merv Griffin's death, Sajak would occasionally (like on a milestone anniversary episode), mention how the show began on NBC daytime, and at least once extended a welcome invitation for Woolery to stop by and visit sometime.

For those that want the SS Game and don't have an Ollie's nearby, or can't find it at Ollie's, it's $12.90 on Amazon currently.
Still a decent price.
