Hi Tom.
I've not heard of this game show before either,either in it's original
american form (though American game shows are only occasionally shown in the
Uk), or if there was a Uk version made which sometimes happens with popular
american shows, such as the very famous play your cards right with the
legendary bruceForsythe being a Uk version of the American card sharks.
However, nicols' question did make me considder how something like a
physical skill based challenge in a game show could be made in an audio
game. The Iphone (and possibly Android I don't know), offers some really
interesting analogue control methods, both in terms of sliding your fingers
around the phone, and in terms of tilting or rotating the phone.
I could imagine quite a fun game along the lines of a game show or a set of
small challenges that gave you those sorts of things, for example with the
dropping the lid on the cup challenge Nicol mentioned, have the cup make a
sound, and require you to move the Iphone around carefully in the air in
front of you to determine the cup's location and then tap fingers to drop.
We've seen a bit of this. Sixth sense is a sterrio targiting arcade zombie
fighting game basically not to different from say the Tigers in Tarzan
Junior or the gun fights in Grizly gulch, however instead of just tapping to
a different direction and hitting a key, you have to directionally slide
your finger, streight up for center, 45 degrees right for middle right,
streight right for far right etc.
Nebula has you tilting the phone to targit space invaders etc.
It strikes me this would be the perfect way to make quite an interesting
gameshow type game with those sorts of varied actions and challenges, using
the aalogue control and movement of the phone to mimic a number of games in
one program in accessible form.
All the best,
Dark.
