Here's an obscurity that hasn't seen much in the way of action on the net game scene. I'd like to change that.
Basic rules are obtainable from the website of your choice, but here's some logistical stuff:
-Each match starts with 4 contestants. The pot for each game starts at $500, and increases by $100 for each correct response, with the last survivor winning the game and the pot.
-In the Fast Bucks round, the contestant playing will get 10 guesses for each row (rather than 15 seconds). Each correct response during the round is worth $500, but naming all the answers in one of the rows is worth a jackpot that starts at $15,000 and increases by $2,500 for each failed attempt at the money until it's won.
-The 4 contestants will keep playing until one of them wins Fast Bucks - at that point, that contestant will stay on, while the others will leave with anything they've won. Champions stay on until defeated.
I need 4 contestants to give this simple game of quick thinking a try.

Well, that was fast. Let's not waste any more time, shall we? ----- ----- [JACKPOT INTRO CUE]Alan Kalter: Ladies and gentlemen, these four players are about to make instant decisions under pressure! Only the last survivor will win the game and all the money on Pass the Buck![THEME MUSIC]With your host, Evan Hatfield![CHEERS, APPLAUSE] Well, thank you very much - keep that up, and we won't even have to get around to the game... All joking aside, welcome to Pass the Buck - our first show, actually, and we hope there's plenty more to come after this one. We have four wonderful people with us, they're going to be playing a game of quick thinking, decision making, and, of course, buck passing. The longer they last in the game, the more money they stand to make, and boy, do they stand to make a lot of money. More on that in a minute, but first, I think we ought to let you meet the people playing our game. Anthony, would you start that off, please? [Contestants, in the order you signed up, please tell us your name, where you come from, and anything else we might like to know about you...] |

Very nice to have you all here, and let's make them feel a bit more welcome, shall we?
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
And we'll get to know you all a bit better with time, and you four, I think, are going to get to know each other real well, and let me tell you why.
The twist with our game is that you four are going to stay on and keep playing our game until one of you gets our Fast Bucks jackpot, so you'll all have a good chance to get some money. Once one of you gets the jackpot, that player stays on to meet three new opponents, while the rest of you will leave with whatever money you've racked up.
The game itself is fairly simple -- I'll give you a category or a list, and your job is going to be to name things fitting that category or list, one at a time, in turn. Each right answer adds money to the pot, but one wrong answer means the next right answer someone gives will knock you out of the game. We'll get a new category each time someone gets eliminated, and we'll keep going until only one of you is left. At that point, that player wins everything in the pot and gets to join me over here to play Fast Bucks for a chance to win at least $10,000. Got all that? Well, it'll make more sense as we go along here.
Now, just to start you all off right, we're going to put $500 in the pot...
[DING!]
$500
...as I tell you four that to survive this first round, we have a rather fitting first category, and that's TV Game Shows Hosted By Bill Cullen. Game shows hosted by the master of emcees himself, that's what you're looking to name. Please note we are including programs where Bill served as a substitute host for this list.
Each right answer is going to add $100 to the pot, and Anthony, by virtue of being the player furthest to the left over there, you're going to be the one to start off this list. What's your first answer?
