THE MATCH GAME


        (MB 1963) Six Editions, plus nicer Fine and Collector's Editions and smaller Briefcase Edition.
The first four editions of this version are in large boxes (the same size as the MB Concentration editions).  The fifth and sixth editions are in much smaller boxes.

 
        (MB 1974) Three Editions
The Third Edition, which most closely resembled the wild TV show in its questions, is rare and highly sought after by collectors.


A computer version of Match Game was announced by Sierra in 2001, but was never released.
