I'm completely speechless, John. This is by far the BEST I've ever seen. Although it won't be availabe to the general public, you and Chris have done a FUNtastic job on rendering Scrabble. A thumbs up from me to you.
9:20 "SRINT ROUND TIME TO BEAT" This game looks AMAZING! I'll echo what others said about this and all the other games: why you and Chris haven't been tapped to create home games for every show, I'll never know. This is something I would definitely pay for.
9:18 it should be "Sprint." You're missing the P.This is a BEAUTIFUL REPLICA! It looks EXACTLY like the real show. I'm going to be playing a replica of this show at TCONA (the Trivia Championships of North America) in August, 2016. This show fascinated me so much when I was a teenager back in 1985 and watched it on TV, mainly because of the music and sound effects, but it will be so cool to take a stab at the words now that I'm grown up.
This is so cool. Love the transition between the live intro to the virtual set. I'm surprised that you didn't add the smaller numbers in the upper right hand corner of each tile. this should definitely needs to be on the Wii/U be able to pick up tiles and press the plunger with the use of the Wii Mote.
Oh, these are really good Jon, it's really a shame you're not allowed to release these on your site, there are not good game show games online, I hope you can release these in the future.
Depends on who owns the property. For this it would be complicated. The Scrabble name is owned by Hasbro but the GAME is owned by Fremantle. Even if they would consider it, I'm sure it would take money to license and I don't have the time or resources to try that.
WBZ AIRS SCRABBLE AT 11:30 AM INSTEAD OF WIN, LOSE OR DRAW. ( 1987 ) BECAUSE RATINGS FOR THAT SHOW WERE NOT GREAT AT ALL. THEY STUCK WITH CHUCK WOOLERY FOR A FEW MORE SEASONS. Kenneth Huang 6/8/23.
I love it! it almost looks like The 1984-90 NBC set! how did you do all this? can you make one for (Tic Tac Dough) CBS 1978 Wink Martindale 1978-85 and Jim Caldwell 1985-86 Versions too? The sets that is, I would say they would look great! of how The Original games were played and The Logo sign behind both hosts to open a picture or words or whatever was shown.
Wow this is amazing!!! How did you acquire master episodes? Did you used to work for the show or anything? Also I'd love for this show to be brought back... keeping as much of the original format as possible... music, etc. I think it would do really well!!
Thank you. I had access to master episodes from Fremantle because of the work I do in game shows. The show did come back, in some form in Scrabble Showdown. Our end game was played in the same manner.
Matt, so great to see your comment now that I know who you are! lol I love your channel! What a pleasure to see you're a game show fan. Hope to chat with you someday! John
I would love to test this game for you, I used to watch this as a kid and it was my favorite game show... also i would love to test any of the game shows that you have
Maybe "unrewarded" isn't the exact word I was looking for. They just don't use this kind of exact technology when they try to recreate these games for revival on TV or in home game form...
The problem is generally they do not have anyone on staff that has a passion or cares about this stuff. I sit there sometimes half hour to 45 minutes trying to find the exact font that matches the show. And if I can't find it I recreate it. Nobody there has the time effort or care to do stuff like that. Sad but true.
Ha! Glad I'm not the only one that does this. I do my stuff in PowerPoint, though, so they aren't as realistic as your games. I love your videos, by the way.
For those of us wanting to play along in future demos, just a suggestion - you could make an annotation (overlay) once you upload the clip and give us clues to the words. Other than that minor suggestion, this is stupendous.
Coincidentally before I got on here to you tube me and my wife were watching Family Ties. This is amazing, its too bad you cant put the NBC logo on the lower right hand side without the feathers colored in.
@@shawnmack1487 AFAIK, his suicide wasn't the reason Charlie became announcer. It's likely because Jay wanted to stay committed to Sale of the Century, but I could be wrong. (Tuna began announcing on Scrabble in 1985; Stewart took his life in 1989.)
That's a tough question to answer. All of my programs are Flash. To get everything to work properly...well that's programming. I spend a lot of time coding and getting things as close to the show as possible.
