I was cleaning my room today when I came across my old SNES version of Family Feud. After I saw it so many great memories flooded my head of me, my friends and family playing these together. I've pretty much played every version of Family Feud (I think) that was released for the consoles. Some were memoriable and some were not.
When I was a kid I couldn't wait to play the NES version of the feud. When I was elementry school then I had my parents tape every episode of the combs version of the feud so when I came home from school I could watch it. One day I my parents took me to the local blockbuster and what do 'ya know it was available to rent. I still remember what the box looked like. The picture was of the Original combs set which made me estatic
. I couldn't wait to get this home and pop it into my Nintendo! When I came home I rushed into my bedroom stucked inside and turned on the power. At I was stunned. The original theme music for the show was no where to be found which dissapointed me then I started the playing the game and everything just felt off. It played very much like the Dawson version (Not that there is anything wrong with that I love Dawson's version of the Feud). There was no bullseye round. In the end I was just dissapointed.
In the early 90's was when the SNES/Genesis versions of the Feud game came out. Other than some graphic and sound diffrences this was the same game. When this came out I was highly skeptical. I was still a little bitter from the NES experience. So went to the local video store again hoping that thsi would be better. Once again I rush home to try this out. I turned it on and once again they didn't have the same theme music as they did in the show. Once I got beyond the bad music I was suprised. The graphics were very much how they had it in the show. There was even the bullseye round (YES
!). They even had some digitized sound effects from the show which really added to the experience. They even had a host that did a digitized voice (Not Ray Combs though 
) If I remeber correctly he only said two phrases "Survey says...." and "Number one answer." I had a ball with it. Whenever we had family gatherings we would always play this. A good version of the Feud.
One time I was walking through the mall about a year or two after the Comb's version of the Feud had been cancelled and walked by this video game store that was displaying 3DO and games you could try it out on. One of them was (you guessed right) Family Feud. I was ready to try it out. One of the first things I noticed was the graphics were picture true to the show and full motion video. I was impressed. They even had a host and once again they didn't have Combs. Instead it was this old guy who I don't even who is now. One of things I deffinatly remember about this version of Family Feud was the long load times. Which probaly why I never got the 3DO (That and the expensive price tag). Saying that though I don't remember that much else about it. Although one of these days I'm going go on e-bay and try to see if I can pick that up so I can try it out again.
At the end of the 90's though was when Anderson's Feud was on the air and of course with another series another game. This time it was for the PC and Playstation. I got the PC version. I liked the fact that all the original SFX were in the game and I also like most of the video clips that they use iof Louis Anderson. That's about all I liked. I thought that the way they produced the game was really cheesy. All the charcters looked like something out of a bad hanna-babara cartoon with there bad choppy animations. I could go on all day but I'll say one last thing. Two words "Anderson's dance" Those who know what I'm talking about are getting a chill in the middle of there spinal column right about now. When the game is over Louis does this dance that makes you want to rush over to the phone and dial 911. I'm getting the chills thinking about it. I can't talk about it anymore
.
Then recently I came across this wonderful place and learned about Todd's software which is currently my favorite of all time. You can tell time and effort or should I say blood, sweat and tears he puts into his projects. Very remarkable. Absolutly wonderful. I have realtives over right now and will be playing this tomorrow and I'm sure I'll be using this for quite some thime to come.
