TeleQuest 1988 Game Show

This is a nearly (sadly) complete (I mean I'm sorry I have as much as I do) of the 1988 game show "TeleQuest" which was an attempt to fleece the viewers at home of money under the guise of a huge cash payout (read the disclaimers at the end).

We begin with the asking of question #2 in round 1. Round 2 is complete. Mercifully I recorded over round 3 years later but, sadly, round 4 and the "bonus" are intact along with closing credits. The explanation of how you too can spend your hard earned money (add it up during the "how-to" video, playing this game will get EXPENSIVE!) is intact during this show.

For the love of God, let's hope this is the only surviving footage.

Was it a local game show?

[narzo]

@heine71 it was syndicated, but very hard to find and often played post midnight

This is a total rip-off. Why would people waste $4.00 to play this is beyond me.

[estestim]

i totally remember this weird game show.

Merv Griffins "Crosswords" was taped without a Studio Audience!--They taped 39 weeks in just 6 weeks!--The show had no Budget!

what kind of game show has no studio audience?

i guess tele quest does.

[heine71]

@narzo Maybe it aired on TNN (then The Nashville Network, later became Spike TV) as part of the Money Mania late night block.

So, let me get this straight.

You have to pay $3.50 just to have the right to play this game, another $3.50 (minimum) to play each game, and a further $1.50 to play the bonus game?

Yeah this game could get expensive.

What the (CENSORED) is this (CENSORED)?! This is such a total SCAM!
