![]() ![]() ![]() As for the contestants, yeah.they're the same-looking contestants from the other DOS game Classic Concentration. Showing the graphic of the host is a nice touch, and judging from it, looks like Jim Perry to me-the tallest game show host in history (so far). However, there's a bunch of animation and cuts so there's a lot to see. The graphics are what you'd expect from a DOS game so nothing too much. The intro track is pretty basic and okay, but when you finish the game, it plays a track that sort of feels like, "well, the game is finished and whether you won or lost, that's the end of it." I'm not a fan of it but that's what the game plays. The tracks on the intro and the end of the game are the only soundtracks you will ever hear. CARD SHARK RULES TVYou can tell off the bat that I'm simply a big fan of TV game shows-the excitement, the lights, the energy, the risk-taking and gambling, the prizes.I love it. Other than that, yes, this was one of those games I played constantly and grew up with. Certainly very odd when I first witnessed the label.

Of all the episodes I have seen, from rule changes to TV hosts, the highest I have seen someone win on the show is $29,000 on the Money Cards (bonus round). Very much scratching the surface of old-fashioned gambling, this game show-based game Card Sharks made a great run during its tenure. It's ubiquitous It's normal It's part of human recreation. I can't imagine anyone having lived life without playing a game involving cards. ![]()
