Passport. I learned a lot and had a great time playing this game.
Million Dollar Match. It not only involved trivia, but motor skills and math skills to hit the points needed.
and lastly, I could not leave this post without a hand raised for my ol' pal ROYL. ;)

Post subject:  Passport

I really enjoyed Passport. On a cold, dark January night I went into a strip mall in Fairfax, Va., and played a game about Presidential Birthplaces and was hooked. Booked my 1st 750k in under 20 months; 40% of that total was probably on nights I went out to play Passport. And I always played alone. Hadn't discovered the online community yet.

Having gushed about the game, I understand why it couldn't remain on the schedule in its final format. The game had 29 Q's over the course of an entire game, the writers focused too much on tourist-ee stuff to the exclusion of history and architecture, and (of course) it was easily borgable. So I suppose it's okay that it's gone.

Still, I really enjoyed reading up on some places I'll probably never go. (talkin' about you Djibouti)

Restore Order. Was a fun change of pace. Couldn't play it with lag, though.

If I remember correctly, you could only use the small numbers to answer a question. That might be the only time I ever used those numbers to answers questions. I would also like to see Abused News back, it was a fun game to play.

Yes, I wish it was back on Monday nights on the main trivia channel. It is a shame where that game is on right now, another bad move by NTN.

Yup, that's why I learned to play solely with the small keys.

I remember that particular game because ANGEL and I made a special trek to Famous Daves (wow, it's been a while!) on a snowy and icy Wednesday with the sole intention of playing that game. Of course, most sane people decided to stay home and the manager decided to close early that night...right before Passport. UGH.

Let me add another vote for Abused News (preferably in a better timeslot than 11 PM Fridays) and Restore Order (though I'd rather not have to use the little red buttons if possible).

The best I ever got was within 10 points, another fun part was if you were over and had to get a negative 250 points on a question that you knew, that happened a lot :lol:
