You've probably mastered it, but I always found it a pain to go for the real end with 1 player (getting that special item on what I think was level 99).

I couldn't never get into Tattletales. It was three famous people (and as I kid I would recognize one maybe two) and their spouses and their stories of mild incidents in hotels or at dinner parties couldn't hold my attention. Give me games with questions, numbers, dragons, devils, catch-phrases. Anything but…

If I'm not mistaken Mouse Trap used three buttons on the keypad.

I haven't played the game, just watched the full playthrough online, so my view might be a bit skewed. I'm skeptical that I'll be able to think of a cohesive narrative to put all the various elements together, but I'm definitely interested if anyone does come up with one.

I have absolutely zero interest in watching this movie. All I want is the protagonist at the end to take a machine gun to her attackers and shout, "You're the Duke! You're the man!"

Mine is when I remove an appendage and store it with my winter clothes, then a few months later I finally need it and can't remember where I put it.

Incrediburgable!

If it means grittier versions of Marvin, Wendy, and Wonderdog then I'm in!

Excellent call. If memory serves Vicki Lawrence was salty more than a few times after Dick would do the post-mortem on a failed bonus round.

I think what helped is that Dick Clark was so sincere as far wanting people to win and just loving the game. You see this also after a win where he commented on great clues that contestants picked up quickly.

I'm only hoping for two things:
1) That the game plays like it did in the 80s version (with non-absurd categories and intelligent celebrities and civilians) and not like the Donny Osmond version.
2) That the ghost of Dick Clark will come out when the player just misses finishing the pyramid to explain what clues might…

You forgot Homarids. I don't know how, but somehow you forgot Homarids.

Clearly these are idle threats otherwise Fumito Ueda would be dead many times over.

While running for sheriff seems like a dumb idea for John, I'm far more interested in the dumb decisions of Gene Rayburn. How dumb was Dumb Dora?

given that “not wanting the entire planet to be destroyed, seeing as I
live there” is about the least inherently heroic motivation a
hero-aligned character can have.

Interviewer: Well, can you… blow up the world?
Tick: Egad. I hope not. That's where I keep all my stuff!

I'm just going to skip the movie and play the Wonderland level from Dragon's Lair II. It's shorter and lacks the visual unpleasantness of the film.

Nope, not just you. "Ahhhh, tiger bomb." :)

There is a flash game called Road of the Dead that's a lot of fun, but the Chinatown is a bear-and-a-half. I can recite the General's comments at the start of the level by heart I've played that level so many times.

I was always happy ot see that because it meant they were showing a movie and not another episode of Dream On.

I think those two upon meeting would each have the other figured out. A polite wave of the hand, a smiling nod, and they'd get out of the other's way.
