''Wipeout'' was an Australian game show that aired on the Seven Network from 15 February 1999 to 24 November 2000. The show was based on the original American series of the same title and was hosted by Tony Johnston. This version was the only one to use children as contestants, and in turn used points instead of dollars due to a law in Australia and Europe which prohibits children from winning money on game shows. After the show was cancelled, it was rerun until 2004. Format First two rounds The game was played with computer-driven game boards shown on a large screen. The correct answers were indicated by checkmarks and the Wipeouts were indicated by crosses. There were generally twelve correct answers and four Wipeouts per board. In the beginning, the crosses appeared after an explosion; later they appear in a variety of ways. Correct answers were worth 25 points each in board one and 50 points each in board two. Also, after an answer, play immediately went to the next contes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
