Looks like it's through the Freevee app, so no charge.

Not for long. Amazon intends to shut down Freevee by the end of the year
I wonder if it has anything to do with a certain dystopian movie dropping in November whose use of the name predates it by 40 years.

The Big Board / Re: Lost 1967 WML Episode Found

I'm always intrigued by kinescopes that escaped the G-T vaults decades ago and then somehow pop back up for collectors to find.  The seller of that Make The Move pilot we got together to purchase so many years ago told me she got it at an estate sale somewhere in New England, and I'm convinced a G-T executive took it home with him at some point and neglected to return it. 

Wouldn't mind some Secret episodes turning up that way.  Besides the hundred or so cigarette episodes that Fremantle never showed us (and even those are trickling out) I figure there are 30 Secret episodes that are simply not in the archives.

We're coming up on 8 years since the last console release of Wheel/Jeopardy, and it's kinda sad. Especially with new hosts and such. On the flip side, you can easily emulate older games on just about anything (including phones), so access to older games feels easier than ever.
There's an official Wheel daily puzzle game (with Jeopardy following this Thursday), but the presentation is super minimalist and they're behind a subscription paywall.

I have to think we're getting new stuff within the next year; there's nothing that suggests it, but with everything very stable on both hosting fronts and with straming and new board games dropping soon...the console games must be rising on the list of to-dos.

Completely unrelated to the games, Matt, but where did you get the little shelving units that you sit the games on?

The wire shelves are all a single unit I bought at a box store (Home Depot or Lowes or something) about ten years ago that just happened to fit my closet perfectly and was a decent height and depth for the bigger games.  The rest are just cheap particle board bookshelves I've had forever.

Matt- which version of Jeopardy is sitting just beneath the LCD American Gladiators handheld? I don't recall a home version with a yellow box.

It's a still-sealed audiobook (cassettes!) of The Jeopardy Book from 1990.  Just one of the wacky things that have oozed their way into my stuff.

Matt: do you have the home game of Word for Word?

Yes.  In the earliest stage of collecting, it was a gift from a cousin I think of as a sister.  It had been in her family.  It's one of the few I'll be keeping.

What is your favorite implementation of a TV game as a home game?

i like the ones that can recreate games 100% faithfully, without having to figure out a way for buzzers or timers to work.  The first two that come to mind are The Who What or Where Game and It Takes Two.  Strange choices both, I know.

I played the hell out of the NES adaptation of Davidson HS (which did a ridiculously good job adapting the show's music for 8-bit). 
I was in almost in the exact same boat as you, only it was my library that rented the games. Until years later when I put two and two together and realized it was THAT David Wise who did the music, I was always a little disappointed that the Gametek NES game show OSTs were all so good and the 16 bit ones were so inconsistent.
