WOF Big Money Edition: Ep 3, Throwback hour 1970's: Archive

[babytims]

Hello folks, this is gonna be a special show that will take place here


I have been contemplating doing Wheel of Fortune: Big Money edition for a while ever since I had first signed up for NGC, but I have always had a thing for the original shows as well. 


Then I had been thinking, if I do classic WOF, then I wouldn't be able to do BME. Then I had an idea that I'll call: WOF Big Money Edition, Throwback hour




For this week (The next 5 episodes), Wheel of Fortune's hitting the time machine. Today, we're going back to the 70's (1975). 


Here's how this works. There'll be 2 shows in one. The first half is gonna be the year/decade in question. The second half is gonna be a normal game of Wheel of Fortune: Big Money Edition. All 3 players play both games.

If this goes well, I hope to make this an actual series in the future.


All rules for the year we go back to apply here. Meaning we'll use a shopping element and have no bonus round for the first game. Prizes will not be adjusted for inflation, although I will use prizes to accommodate the wheel.

All 3 players play both games. If the same winner wins both games, they win $50,000 cash as a bonus.

With that being said, Bill McDee has won almost 80 grand in cash and prizes. He is our champ, so I need him to check in. 


Mark Liotta has requested a spot in this episode, so I need him to check in too.


I need one more player!

Me: Hello folks! Hello and welcome to a very special hour we've got here! Wheel of Fortune: Throwback week. Where we combine 2 decades into one show. We've got great prizes here, lots of cash, and a lovely hostess please help me welcome Ms. Vanna White, oh Vanna!


(Vanna walks out as "I'm a Wheel Watcher" plays, audience cheers)


And now let us meet our 3 players for tonight shall we!




First up is Mr. Mark Liotta with us who also hosts a Wheel game on the forums. How's that going for you Mark?

[babytims]

Mark could you tell us about yourself please

[GameShowNetwork]

The game's going well. As for myself, I'm 34 and I enjoy playing various video games. And I also have a Super Wheel Of Fortune series coming up

[babytims]

That's great to hear! Good luck to you today and with your shows, especially Super Wheel.


Now we go to Matt. Welcome to Wheel Matt! What should we know about you?

[mringgenberg]

I am a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, IA.

[babytims]

Good luck to you today Matt!

Now we go to our champion, Bill McDee. He has already won $79,263 in cash and prizes! Bill, ready to win more?

[billmcdee]

All set to spin and win!

[babytims]

That's the spirit! Let's start our game (I spin the wheel)


$500 is the top dollar value on the wheel for our first round. Look out for that black space, Bankrupt. If you land on that you lose your cash, but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle:
