Found some old footage from an 80s video game of them playing each other. At the time, they only allowed nine letter names, so my apologies jimmy.



Looks like we are starting off with a phrase... Hawaii has honors.

1991, SVGA graphic interface.

My apologies, JORR had the honors. He went with an R for a cool 600 finding two. He then bought an E and found two of them. He finishes off the first word with the V and Y and is at 1500. Buys the A and finds a couple...

Yeah, I thought it was the 80s, but I was a little off.

that cool, how do you play? I clicked on the picture but nothing happens.

I will take a R.

JORR goes to spell out the presumed "and" and is treated with some bonus letters... off to a big lead...

I'm sorry but R was already taken. JORR has control right now.

JORR chooses to solve... and is RIGHT!

I'd like to solve the puzzle Pat.

how? he wasnt' posting anything? fix is in.

Then the game glitched and stopped, so Pat said that would be a practice round.

This time Hawaii has control and gets to pick the R he wanted so badly -- and there are two! He follows up with the S.

D

Hawaii misses with an L, JORR misses with a N... jimmy hits with a T. He then buys an E and the board opens up a bit....

I said D, not L

jimmy figures it out and spins for some more money...

looking for a C, maybe?

he would know!

Next puzzle has a lot of guessing, but Hawaii has hit on a couple and has a prize Seattle trip pending his win...

i dont know what's going on.

this has the potential for "METEOR!"-esque greatness.

Some more guessing -- Hawaii bought a vowel that wasn't there... JORR ended up guessing a G and then buying an O. He has a look like he knows the answer...

Yes, he knew it!



Very close race here with just $50 separating the top two... HawaiiYou got your work cut out for you! Remember back in this time, we only did three rounds before the final.

A $5000 space has been added to the wheel, and Hawaii is off to a fast start...

Hawaii buys an A which is up there, but then tries an E... no luck. JORR goes with the R and finds a couple. Then buys the O and guess the M...

JORR goes with the L and N...



He has that look in his eye again like he knows it... will he go for more money, or try to solve it here?

He couldn't resist the cash grab with those G's out there...
