| Logo to "Blockbusters" which originally ran on NBC from 1980-1982. |
 |
| The first host of "Blockbusters" and the "dean of game show hosts" - Bill Cullen! |
 |
| On "Blockbusters" one player faces a "family pair". |
 |
| The pair or person in control picks a letter, for example A, and then a question like this is asked: What A is the state home to Nome and Anchorage and was the 49th to enter the union? |
 |
| The hexagon changes to the color of whoever got it right. Red wins by connecting blocks from top to bottom (See above) White wins by connecting left to right. |
 |
| Winning two games means $1000 and the chance at $5000 more in the "Gold Run". |
 |
| Now with the letters are acronyms like ACC, etc. Connecting left to right here means $5,000. Originally after each win the "Gold Run" was played and was worth $2500. After the second win it was $5000. |
 |
| Also, 60 seconds was given on the clock. Here we see a "Gold Run" attempt... |
