I Ranked Every GameTek game on NES 

Let's rank every JALECO game! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l9NF3wdKv0g.html

This is still one of my favorite series on RU-vid right now

Your reaction to Hollywood Squares was priceless.

Ray Combs was the host of Feud. Ray Park stabbed Liam Neeson with a laser sword.

I always wanted a Press Your Luck game for nes, cause I liked the little animated whammy when I was a kid

That Hollywood squares bit was hilarious! Card sharks would have been perfectly adaptable for the nes. Great video!

9:30 Krusty the Klown: "I thought they were due."

No tier list on this one? I love that final visual!

My family and I played Family Feud all the time. My 2 siblings and I against my parents. Great memories of that game, lots of fun. We also had Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Thanks John.

That scream from American Gladiators gets me every time. Just one of the most hilarious NES voice samples

We definitely should have gotten a Press Your Luck game on the NES! That was my go to game show when I was sick and home from school, and at any other time.

12:32- “I don’t know who came up with this idea.” According to Wikipedia it was the wife of Merv Griffin, the creator of both Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. He was trying to come up with game show ideas and she realized that there hadn’t been any quiz shows since the scandals in the 1950’s. She then suggested the idea of giving the answer and the contestants have to come up with the question. Merv liked the idea and pitched it to NBC. The rest-as they say- is history.

I used to have a friend who I would go back and forth with saying things like we are in the Wheel Of Fortune Prize Round from the early 80's where you buy pool tables, rugs, Michael C. Fina dinnerware, lawn mowers, etc. with the money you won instead of keeping the cash. My favorite of his was "I'll take the framed art."

Classic Concentration puzzle answer: Fear of flying

probably the first one of these where I've literally not played any of these! hollywood squares though I suddenly have a morbid curiosity to check out though! these are always a fun watch.

when you are done with all of these, you should make a 'final' video that is JUST the S and A tier games

Classic Concentration was a great show, it was hosted by Alec Trebeck

GameTek’s “Wheel Of Fortune” on the N64 has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I still maintain that it was very impressive they got FMVs of Vanna White onto the cartridge.

Should've had Paul Lynne write those Hollywood Squares jokes. They'd actually be funny.

Super Jeopardy was a special tournament in 1990 featuring four contestants for some reason, hence the game. Did support the Four Score from what I can tell

American Gladiators was a show of contestant people vs the American Gladiators

I love the ranking videos, keep them coming. Its a great way to find some hidden gems. Hopefully you do some more open cart surgery soon. There's something satisfying about seeing a game come back to life.

U didn’t use the graphic to show where everyone matched up :’( lol

John, great video! I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Gametek nostalgically. They were a company that tried to do the gameshow video games to reach out to a broader video game audience like parents and grand parents. Gametek games were the only time I saw my grandparents play a video game through wheel of fortune and classic concentration. They never played or tried anything else lol. Yes, they were pretty rough around the edges games haha. However, You have to give them some credit to trying to do very difficult games show in a video game format on the limitations of a nes 8 bit system. Once again, thank you so much for these extraordinarily fun video. They bring back so many memories. My buddies and I even recorded the double dare nes theme abd obstacle course theme and played stupid crazy most unsafe haha games outside listening to the nes double dare song. Good times.

Jeopardy is awesome. Its a great twist on trivia games.

1:35 - Lace, Sabre, Sky, Tower, Blaze, Diamond, Diesel (not Kevin Nash hah), Gemini, Nitro, Ice, Turbo, Hawk, Zap, Laser, Siren, Gold, Thunder, Jazz, Storm, Elektra, Viper, Titan, Giant, Rebel, Flash, Cyclone, Delilah, Tank, Flame, Sahara, Angel, Astra, Samson, Hammer, Vulcan, Jet, and Wolf. The show ran from 1989-'97 so there were plenty of Gladiators. HA! Nitro and Thunder.

I always wanted a game called wheel of misfortune. Every time you pick the wrong letter you lose a finger. Now that would be a cool game😎

I can never unsee them as giant q tip’s while playing gladiators now. Lol. Love these ranking videos.

I can't tell you how many hours of my childhood was spent playing American Gladiators. To this day, I have never gotten up the wall.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone more accurately describe Wheel of Fortune than, "Vanna White was an integral part of the show because... I don't know; she's Vanna White."

The Double Dare, and Family Feud were games my whole family would play together! At least until my sister and I got into an argument over who was going to be on what team.

Love this series of videos John! Man, though... the Jeopardy hate!!! ouch!! :) the ranking videos r prob my favorites of what you do video wise!!

The reason Super Jeopardy had 4 players was there was a big tournament around the time (it was on ABC on Saturdays in the summer) and the preliminary rounds had 4 players instead of 3.

5:40 - It was Ray Combs who took over Dawson's role in 1988, Mr. Combs was my favorite Family Feud host.

Could you have imagined being a janitor on the set of double dare?

Ranking games. My favorite

Riggs rocks the Hulk Hogan hairdo. 🤣

I didn't know Darth Maul was a Family Feud host

American Gladiators is pretty fun. The yelling when you knock your opponents off is HILARIOUS!! The developer, Incredible Technologies, who was behind it, is still around today and they are known for the Golden Tee Golf and Silver Strike Bowling games you'll see inside of various bars.

I love these ranking videos...it's like having a mini game review for every NES game. Hopefully once you run out of NES titles you keep going with SNES, Genesis, N64, etc...

Damn it John, now I gotta watch old episodes of Concentration here on RU-vid.

With all the reboots these days, how have we not had a new American Gladiators show? Loved seeing the juiced up Gladiators destroy the contestants. Thanks for the video!

Love watching these ranking videos. Reminds me of my childhood, which was awesome. We must be around the same age Mr. Riggs

Man your deadpan delivery on the Hollywood squares is hilarious!!

Love your stuff Mr. Riggs! Very comforting to listen and watch. Thank you.

I found out according to Computer Entertainment that sometime around 1988, that GameTek was planning to published the NES versions of Milton Bradley board games Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land and Go To the Head to the Class. But those games, were later canceled.

Team Classic Concentration right here! LOVED that show!

What is surprising is the voice samples in NES games like Wheel of Fortune, pretty good.

Love the thumbnail dude! Lol

I was always a fan of the original Blockbusters. I liked the fact that it added a bit of strategy and some risk/reward to go along with the trivia.

Man, the Double Dare final obsticale course was the dream!! I wanted to jump through all the Gak and Slime (they were edible. The slime was similar to tapioca pudding, and the Gak was basically whipped icing.) I bet everybody wishes they'd done it now, lol!

Super Jeopardy! is four players not only because it makes use of the Four Score/NES Satellite but because it’s based off of the 1990 Super Jeopardy! Tournament that aired on ABC which had four-player games in the quarterfinals.

I LOVE this entire series of videos! I hope you'll eventually get around to ranking the games published by SETA, Castle of Dragon is one of my personal favorites.

Fun fact: there's actually a hack of Wheel of Fortune called Gamer Edition. It pretty much does as it implies, it throws in a bunch of video game questions. Actually not a bad way to use these old game show questions.

People forget the Richard Dawson days of Family Feud were full of innuendo, it was always kind of the "thing" with that show.

That stressed reaction to Hollywood Squares looked like the start of a bad apology video lol Also, fun fact about the Jeopardy format! Gameshows before it had problems with corruption where contestants would be fed answers beforehand, so Jeopardy was an ironic response to the problem. They’re literally “giving you the answer,” but you have to figure out the question.

Harlem Globetrotters had their own Sat morning cartoon show when I was growing up in the 70s. Actually they had 2 different cartoon shows AND a live action show!

Nigel Mansell's Championship is actually a rebranded port of a Famicom F1 racing game. "Press Your Luck" would've been awesome on the NES. ;)

I went to a Harlem globetrotters game 8 years ago and it was one of the best sporting events I’ve ever been to! They had a penalty box and the three tallest guys on their team “fouled” and it was the two smallest guys on the team vs 5 and they were still whooping them!!!

Finally gametech! Now I’d like to see rankings of all the baseball games versus each other

Price Is Right kind of naturally lends itself to videogames, what with it basically being a collection of minigames itself. That one definitely could've worked! (I got a serious flashback when I heard that NES Wheel of Fortune music, BTW. I also remember playing the Tandy version at a friend's house on occasion; we'd memorized most of the puzzles!)

I don't remember what the question was, but one of the joke responses in Hollywood Squares was something along the lines of "Plays hell on your insides, too". Not 100% on the wording, but I know it had 'hell' in there.

9:15 that basketball player is going to haunt my dreams.

Forgot to show the rankings at the end, but otherwise great video. Love this series.

The joust scream is the best

Would have killed for an NES port of The Price is Right. That, along with Jeopardy and Press Your Luck, were among my favorite game shows back in the day....

"Soon, i hope". I laughed way too much.😂 Also we had Wheel of Fortune here in Finland but i think we missed most of those other shows here.

I remember renting American Gladiators once as a kid. It instantly went into the "Never rent again" category.

I got the 25th Anniversary Jeopardy game for Christmas of 89, I think.. It was the only NES game my parents bought me. All my other games were bought with what money I could scrounge up, or with birthday money. It got misplaced at one point. I think I let someone borrow it. But I later picked up another copy.

Hey John, You should do a series where you rank games in a series like this. For example, ranking Star Wars games for NES, SNES or something. Maybe Final Fantasy games.

I always was upset we never got the NES "Press Yiur Luck" game. Imagine the shenanigans they could have pulled with the whammy! Ahhhh... still hurts.

HELL YEAH! Classic Concentration ☝️

Ah, Robert Ludlum, he was an awesome author...the Jason Bourne Trilogy is among the best of the spy sub-genre of thriller novels, and his other works are pretty good as well.

Well i never played the game, but i used to watch American Gladiators all the time. Same thing with Double Dare, and that wonderful NES show, Video Power. Another great video!

Worth your thinking of for the gladiators game is contenders!

It’s a crime we didn’t get a Funhouse game with host JD Roth.

American Gladiators was all about the screams

I enjoy watching your reviews.

I believe Merv Griffin’s wife came up with the idea of Jeopardy.

I have Hollywood Squares on my PowerPak. I'll play it every once in a while after a few drinks.

awesome Video again John. Much love and respect for you. Greetings from Germany

I gotta admit, I almost hit the floor at the end of Hollywood Squares

Fear of flying.

The Fisher price and jeopardy games are A's. Really Great video

would have loved a Press Your Luck game back then. The whammies were awesome

9:30 "I thought the Generals were due!"

The 10,000 Pyramid would be cool, but Press Your Luck would've be awesome 😁

Love all your content. You the man John

Jeopardy games are brutal in that they require you to have perfect spelling. So even if you know the answer, you can still get the answer wrong. Something I had to put up with on both the NES and the Genesis versions. Even the late Alex Trebek mentioned this a time or two, when contestants stated that they prepared by playing one of the video games. Also, Super Jeopardy was a short-lived Saturday edition that was also hosted by Trebek. To help set it apart from the weekday version, they featured a fourth player.

Thanks for the content Mister Riggs.

I wonder if it would be possible on Jeopardy and Wheel of fortune to take the roms of the three games of each made by the same company and combine their databases into a single massive game with all the puzzles.

Always wished they made press your luck. No whammie, no whammie stop... loved that show.

1:48 Those graphics made my eyes hurt.

I would love to see you rank old school Intellivision games

I have really enjoyed these videos Riggs! Thank you! Any chance we could get a voice sample to use for one of our songs??

How about Press your luck? Might have been a fun one. Or maybe Legends Of The Hidden Temple, or a Where In The World Is Carmen Sandego game based on the PBS game show? Also, I liked Scooby Doo Meets The Harlem Globetrotters. But when I was a kid I loved watching reruns of Gilligan's Island and I loved the Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island made for TV movie.

Those jeopardy games can make for some great party game fun. Definitely not a single player experience.

8:57 is that a hidden shoutout to me I detect? 🧐

I think I had Fisher-Price Firehouse Rescue for my old 486 PC computer back in the day

I'd love to have you review other games but with your 'Hollywood Squares' attitude 👌😎
