- The classic quiz show hosted by Win Elliot. In this game, the contestants are faced with a tic-tac-toe board with a different category in each square. To put their mark (X or O) in the square they want, they must first answer a question in the category listed there. For each question they answer correctly, they win a cash prize. The first contestant to put their mark in three squares in a row gets to keep the cash and move on to a bonus round for even bigger prizes.—Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
- The first version of the classic game show, a general knowledge quizzer married to tic-tac-toe. Two contestants, including a returning champion competed (the champ was "X," his challenger the "O"). The host announced nine categories (a variety of pop culture and academic subjects); each player, in turn, selected a category and answered a question in that subject. A correct answer added $100 to the pot (or $200 if it were the center box, which had a two-part question tied to it); an incorrect answer left the box empty and available for his opponent. The first player to get tic-tac-toe was champion and faced a new challenger; there was no end game here, as in the later versions. Tie games were played if necessary, with the pot continuing to accumulate (sometimes well over $10,000) until claimed. "Tic Tac Dough" returned in 1978 to CBS and syndication, some 19 years after it was forced off the air in the wake of the Quiz Show Scandals.—Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
