haha devestating

A*MAZING used to have the best prizes

Amazing was the best game show full stop

Kevin Sheedy joke book on the main board.

Didn't stop you trying to win one.

I was always so jealous of the kids on A*Mazing. They were nearly always amazingly stupid and I got so frustrated watching them fail all the time.

I think the worst was watching them play Mario Kart 64 and knowing that I could destroy them at it.

I looked it up after Clives comment, tbh this prize isn't nearly as good as I remember

 

[Caesar]

Anything seems pretty good at that age, when you're dependent on pocket money from mum and dad to buy stuff.

Except educational CD-ROMs. Gotta say I pissed myself at that.

Seemed like it was the only non-collingwood joke there, was all for pride

'Sif they had 64's on that show. The most recent game I remember seeing on there was Donkey Kong on SNES.

 

[Chops_a_must]

5 dollars cold hard caaaaaaaaaaaaash.

Unfortunately, I couldn't remember where I lived and didn't get it.

In Malaysia went into sometime zone place where I managed to win a couple of hundred tickets, unfortunately the only prize I could get was some glue.

Towards the end of the series, I'm pretty sure they had the 64's.

They certainly did. I can't remember them playing Mario Kart but I certainly recall them playing Cruis'n USA

It was Krock that did the competition.
Massive anti-climax of a competition too. Week long cometition ended with 2 finalists, the first spun the cheapest wheel I've ever seen which came up Frankston. By default the other finalist that did nothing but stand there won a trip to Frankfurt, Germany.

Got a selection of non-alcoholic wine for placing 2nd in a quiz night recently.

Lol. Yeah was, I thought the guy was hard done by tbh.

Speaking of football comps on the ground before the game Did you see the one before the Collingwood game in August!!?!? I was in that one!!! We had to run to different years, answering questions up on the big screen.

Didnt even win anything, but had an absolute blast.

Haha, can't believe I forgot about that show, never missed it when I was younger. I can remember cringing though at the times when you knew you could own those kids playing whatever game they were.

Was that the show where it was yellow vs green? and they went through a maze and had to find stuff in it??

 

[Deadline]

I used to call up SEN back in the day to do the late night quiz. Prizes were 9 holes of golf somewhere, tickets to some brewery, and some crappy afl book. While none of these things interested me even in the slightest I thought I could give them to friends, but you had to collect the prize from their front desk in the city somewhere, like I could be ****ed. I'm guessing they just kept re-using all the prizes that nobody turned up to claim.

About 15 years ago, I came second in a 9 No-Tap Tenpin Bowling tournament (9 No-Tap means that if you get a 9, it's counted as a strike).

I won a pair of AMF socks.

Not bad for a $30 entry fee.
