Author Topic: idea:Film-Techer's parody of Press Your Luck TV game show Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-23-2002 05:56 AM                     Has anyone senn the TV game show Press Your Luck? It's currently on the Game Show network along with a brand new all new sequel-no reruns- titled Whammy. The original 1980's version used I believe 54 slide projectors rear projecting onto 18 screens at one of three 18 projector groups at a time. My idea for a online/offline parody of this game is this:In place of money earned,including the amount from non-free prizes,there would be instead a number of feet of film. Free prizes won would include for example Film Guard,cleaning media rolls,etc. Trips won would for example include Show West,Show East & other locations Film-Techers visit,etc. But watch out for the Film-Tech whammy,he'll take away all your earned non-free prizes & trips including all the feet of film you have earned & cause various problems with your theatre sound & projection equipment,etc. Four whammies & your'e out of the game. Disclaimer:For amusement only,no actual items are given away/earned. No actual problems result from this game.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-23-2002 06:12 AM                     Here's an example borrowed from the 80's PYL game show & parodied: I spin, " Okay, gimme that Show West trip,no Film-Tech whammies!" Hit stop button-"No Film-Tech whammies. STOP!" ****! Too late! Oh,check out the various Press Your Luck sites by entering Press Your Luck in the search engines.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Gilardi Madam Moderator Posts: 2214 From: Peabody, MA, USA Registered: Dec 2007 posted 07-23-2002 07:00 PM                      |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-23-2002 08:07 PM                     Rachel, was that a typo?
