Re: New old games in the J! Archive
I remember this game. I got FJ then and now. I was 18 when this aired. But I’m a presidential trivia nerd and I wouldn’t expect most people to know he ran in 1948.Robert K S wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:05 amFor the Final, almost twice as much time has now elapsed from the election in question than when the clue was presented, and I'm not sure the difficulty of the clue is any different.

Player pics of Jay Haas, Paula Massengale and Bruce Harris:
What is Bruce's occupation? Archivists have three of four games and the intro is missing on all of them. Bruce had kind of a stern authoritarian manner to playing like he's a cop, but that outfit seemed like something different. No way he's a teacher (or certainly hope not) or doctor. Bruce seemed to like the serious academic stuff while Paula lived for the fun stuff.
Fun game of contrasts while no one could solve the FJ! clue.

Seance on a Wet Afternoon; How to Murder Your Wife; Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad; and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini
Did the $100 clue actually include the accent mark? Or alternately,

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
The writers caught a break that Paula was there or it may not have gone as well. I knew you would like those titles and did not want to tip off they were there. Yes, seance with the accent. And more on J27 to make me think a writer was showing the skill to know how to do it or it was a new toy released for the clue display.MinnesotaMyron wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 8:06 pmIt looks like we welcome the filmsMarkBarrett wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 7:49 pm Courtesy of the National Archives of Game Show History I added 4/30/90: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7663to the J-Canon as titles. The $500 clue's film already had 1 hit in the Archive, but it looks like it was added to the Archive only around 2020. I was really hoping for the clean sweep.Spoiler

No surprise, a 0/5 for me in that movie title category.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
I had $200, $400, and $500, and I'd heard of $300 before, but didn't know it exactly. $100 was new to me. Personally, I'd say they were valued exactly in reverse of what I knew.LucarioSnooperVixey wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:56 pm No surprise, a 0/5 for me in that movie title category.
For $100, imdb's listing, the trailer viewable there, and the picture of the poster do not have the accent mark. Various editions of the novel do, however. Not worthy of a notation, I'd say.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
Well, that meant I had to try it. 3/5. Wasn't familiar at all with the top row film. And for the middle clue I got "I'm so sad" but I just wasn't "feelin'" it.LucarioSnooperVixey wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:56 pm No surprise, a 0/5 for me in that movie title category.

29R, nice buzzing.
Any day I do a current game and an old game there will be some kind of overlap materials with similarity between the two games. Today's coincidence was really well-timed.
Too bad for Joanne there was no SCC back then.
The backlog for archivists may be under 400 now?

Player pics of Jennifer Myers Johnson, Dwayne Williams & Cigus Vanni:
That completes the regular run of Cigus's games.
Poor Jennifer got caught in a trap twice with the wrong South state and later with the swashbuckler.
Whatever that audio DD cost then vs. what it would be now would be quite a difference and could even exceed the difference of "Eight Days A Week" from a old game I did not too long ago?

DJ10 -- Piano Sonata should be capitalized.
DJ11 -- should magazine be capitalized?
DJ15 -- should that be down beat?

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
I can find a Keynote Magazine, but that has to do more with public speaking and the like, so that's probably not it. So, sure it could also be Keynote magazine (using a form similar to Time magazine), but *shrug*.
