Greed

[leimeisei]

Hey, I'm sure some of you remember "Greed"... known by Fox as "the answer to Millionaire" and known by everyone else as "the wannabe but failed Fox version of Millionaire". I was wondering if anyone had the cues or sounds for that game. If Anyone knows where I could pick them up, could you let me know? Thanks.

But I guess this could be the Greed thread as well. Anyone have any especially memorable things about Greed? I think it's most memorable for the extremely long answer reveal times. Like, Chuck Woolry would say "Is _____ the answer?" and then there'd be like 30 seconds and then they'd finally say if the answer was right or not.

Oh yeah definitely...I think they actually need to bring "Greed" back! I think it was a very nice show to compliment "Millionaire" (even it was put on FOX to purposely go against it). I would like to see Chuck Woolery back to hosting a network game show again because he's great! Chuck set up those answer reveals perfectly (awesome too that they had dead silence in the process!).

Ahhh, Greed is one of my favorite game shows. It was a shame it was so short-lived; I really enjoyed watching reruns on GSN. If anyone knows BigJon's PCGames, I have his downloadable game for the show, which is, as you would expect from Jon, fantastic.

Also, leimeisei, I'll PM you a site where can get you the cues for the show; you'll need RealPlayer to listen but you can always use a file conversion site or software.

I watched Greed back in the day, but even then I knew it didn't compare to "Millionaire." It was definitely the strongest of the knock-offs, though.

Is "Greed" the answer??






















































YES!!!!!!!

Did I do it right?! ;D

Anyway, it sounds interesting, but I haven't actually seen the show in action. Maybe I should when I get the chance..

LOL! That is EXACTLY how those "Greed" answers were revealed (especially at the higher levels of the game)! Here are two exciting youtube clips: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NWDl21PSY0 and www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfoiNE8Tpj8 .

I never could get that software working! It always gives me an error after I finish the first question. What do I do?

[Reidb1700]

Where'd you get the software, I might be able to help.

[FrankT]

Direct from the BigJon's website. bigjonpcgames.com/

[FrankT]

This thing STILL ain't workin' properly!



What do you suggest?

[GSK]

Grab the Needs file from BigJon's downloads section.

[RyanZ]

What GSK said, although if that still doesn't work then try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

[FrankT]

But I did! I installed it and restarted it, just like it told me, then I installed Greed, ran it, played the question, and still it crashes! Just like last time I tried it!

What version of flash do you have? Flash 10.1 may cause problems with some of the games.
