This series is ready to launch too! I have changed up the graphics, most of which are showcased in the Show Your Stuff section of the boards, and the format is changed slightly:
The show is now a half hour as opposed to a full hour, 2 games still win the match. I created an opening game that gives the player a chance at extra cash, and the bonus game is changed slightly. Everything else is still relatively the same.
That being said, I need 2 players willing to take a shot at The Joker's Wild!

You were willing to play MY game, so I'd like to reciprocate! I'll volunteer to play!

*opening theme* Bob Hilton: From Hollywood, here's the game where knowledge is king, and lady luck is queen. It's...
And now, here's the host of the show, Immanuel Tims!
*loud cheers as I emerge from the side of the stage* Hello folks, good day out there as we test our players knowledge with our giant slot machine to try and win thousands of dollars in cash, and even some prizes! You won't find this game in Vegas, otherwise we wouldn't be here in Los Angeles. Let's get to know our 2 players who want a spin of our machine: Nick Roche and Kevin Kolsen! *applause*
Nick, we'll start with you. What would you like everyone to know about you?

Well, I'm originally from New York, but I've been living in Florida since I was 2. I became a fan of both genre projects (mainly STAR TREK) and game shows at a young age, and I've been able to parlay both loves into an ongoing gig doing "Trivia Game Shows" at conventions across the country, earning me the nickname "Gamemaster Nick". At the moment, I'm on hiatus from this gig due to the COVID-19 restrictions, but I'm hoping to be back at it soon! I'm also a vocalist and guitar/keyboard/drum player, and I try to keep my vocal talents in shape by performing at local Karaoke nights!

Oh wow! Living my dream, going around the country hosting game shows. I have to ask, is Joker's Wild one of the shows you've done at these conventions?

Indeed it is! IN fact, I've used several different software versions of the game. Most recently, I've been using the excellent version made up by my buddy Greg "Greggo" Wicker, which he's made available through his ETSY channel!
It's just one of over 40 gameshow formats (including a few of my own and a few from Greggo) that I have in my overall catalogue of games!

Very nice! Then I have a feeling you know a lot about the game. We'll play it a bit differently, but the same idea. Next we have Mr. Kevin Kolsen. Give us the Kevin Kolsen story in 50 words or less!

*laughter* Perhaps I should've said 50 letters or less! Good luck today fellas, let's get to our game. We play our matches best 2 out of three, the first player to win 2 games wins the match and a chance at a whole lot of loot! But before we do that, we have a new game we're going to play right now to give our players a little extra cash: Right now these windows may look empty, but we call them the "Mystery Windows", because hidden behind each of these windows is something either good or bad. 1 has $250, 1 has $500, and the other hides a joker. Once a slide is picked, I'll ask a question for that amount. Answer it right and you bank the money, otherwise it goes right into your opponent's bank. If you pick a joker, you get to pick another window and the value of it will double. The first player to bank $1,000 will win this portion of the game. Good luck, Nick we'll start with you, what window would you like?

Okay...let me get my three-sided coin out and flip it... Think I'll go right up the middle and see what's in window # 2! (LET'S MAKE A DEAL Mode Off)

Right up the middle, in number 2 have... *dings, cheers* The $500 slide! Answer this question right and you'll be halfway to winning:

Bump for Nick

If Nick doesn’t respond in less than 12 hours, he loses control of the question.

No, it was Mark McGwire. *buzz* That means Kevin gets the $500! *applause, ding* Kevin, it's your turn now. Let's shuffle the board:Pick the right window and you can win this opening game. What window would you like, Kevin?

Post by koopakid17 on Jun 16, 2022 18:11:42 GMT -5
The middle one.

Middle one again, eh? *ding, applause* $250 question coming your way, Kevin. HOW MANY OUNCES ARE IN A US GALLON?

Ooh, if this was Half Off on The Price is Right, you would've had it, it was 128. Nick gets the $250. *applause, ding* $250 plays $500. Nick, you can definitely catch up.The board is shuffled, pick a window.

Let’s try the left window this time.

Post by babytims on Jun 17, 2022 20:39:13 GMT -5
Left window let's see... $500 for this next question Nick, this question can put you back in the lead:
THE HAUNTED MANSION AT DISNEYLAND IS HOME TO HOW MANY “HAPPY HAUNTS”?

This one I’m fairly sure of. There are 999 ghosts in the Mansion.

Absolutely! *applause, ding* Kevin, let's keep the ball rolling. Pick a window, please.

The right one, please.

Post by babytims on Jun 18, 2022 23:43:02 GMT -5
The right one, or the wrong one? *scattered laughter* Obviously, the only wrong thing in this part of the show is a wrong answer. *dings, applause* Ooh a joker! Choose a window and the amount of the question doubles!

Post by koopakid17 on Jun 19, 2022 7:05:14 GMT -5
Then when I answer the question, I really hope I don't get the wrong one!
The middle window, please.
