I wish the original Wipeout would return.

Half an hour, no clues, and somewhat tougher than Countdown. Wong answer? Lose 250 points.

When I started playing in 2000, if you got a 10K on Wipeout, you could be proud. Bring it back.

Buzztime should do a throwback day once a month. Bring back all of the now defunct or cancelled games AND NO SPLIT! I bet they would see a HUGE jump in players that day.

Bring back Wipeout... That game was a true challenge. I loved it so much.

You mean if you answer incorrectly, you lose points? Not answering should just count as a zero.

By the was, I disagree about losing points for a wrong answer in a game like Wipeout, because there is no clue that will tell you the answer. I like the idea of having -250 for a wrong answer in Countdown, but in Wipeout such answers should simply count as zero, in my opinion.

I liked Wipeout more than I like Late Shift, or the late Buzztime Trivia. It was not my favorite of trivia games, but it was okay. If it is brought back, it should alternate with Countdown as before.

Real players absolutely loved negative points for any wrong answer in any game 20 years back. This included the Flashback round of Spotlight. But then NTN capitulated to all the pussies complaining and things haven't been the same since.

I'm quite sure there are enough "real players" on Scaratings that you don't need to speak for all of them in one post. I still think a wrong Wipeout answer should be zero.

Mein Gott!!! I actually agree with... I can't bring myself to say it. :shock:
Indeed, it was frustrating when the -250 came up but it was a given that it was part of the game. It made you want to do better.
