Press Your Luck | PREMIERE!, pt. 1

You guys think I'm lying? No folks, I am not kidding around here. This is THE one and ONLY 1983 premiere of Press Your Luck, with Lana, Linda and Phil. This is where Peter Tomarken continued his stardom right after the cancellation of Hit Man. Complete first round of the long run this show was bound to have.

I beated Michael Larson's record on my Ds and got $122,000 in cash and prizes

[mtiller2006]

My high score is WAY higher than that! I played it just like Larson did, on the Expert version of the game which is really cool, though I felt the same effects Larson did. But with many spins keeping coming back to me, I got over $250,000 in cash and prizes.

But, $122,000 ain't bad at all. That's a good total.

Nice to see early episode of PYL. SO maggie brown wasnt on the premier? YOu know what id like.. a Press Your Luck Box set with the best episodes!!

[mtiller2006]

No, she appeared on the pilot of it

[nextbarker]

The only change from the pilot to the actual show was the number of questions reduced to 4.

[mtiller2006]

Actually, another change was that in the pilot, there were 4 slides in each square. The difference for the show was that there were 3 slides, so that makes two differences

god lana is retarded. & is a symbol for THE??? Even a four year old knows '&" is a symbol for AND. And she should have taken $200 and a spnin. What a dumbass!!!

[bluebear1985]

A Chevrolet Mercedes? Sounds like an interesting model of car. What the heck, I guess they had to shake off the first day jitters sometime.

[Dodgerfn5]

They skipped the interviews I noticed.

[smashwhammy]

@mtiller2006 of course, the revival put it back to 5

[spongebot64]

@mtiller2006 The clearest change can be the logo.

[mbrooks415]

@hockeyboy1231 Her favorite Elton John song is probably Bennie And & Jets.

[smashwhammy]

@nextbarker and that was undone on Whammy TANPYL

[johnissoevil]

@mtiller2006 I got $118K on one version of the game a few years back, forget which version. I hit Add A One twice then passed the spins. I got them passed back, ended up losing it to the Whammy.

How long did that old Home Gum icon last?

[funmike1987]

I have seen a play through of press your luck for the wyee. It was the 2010 edition.

[justin63125]

@mtiller2006 I got the expert edition with a grand total of cash and prizes $633,968 and still going strong

Also, they switched out the logo in the center of the big board. The pilot had a military stencil outline whereas this one has the classic PYL logo.
