* '''Safe Cracker''', a two-player [[Mystery Box]] game with a one-shot [[Bonus Round]];
* '''California Cool''', another [[Mystery Box]] game with a trivia theme; and
* '''The Millionaire Game''', where one person out of a pool of six were selected to play a "higher/lower" game somewhat like ''[[Card Sharks]]'' to win the show's progressive jackpot which began at $1,000,000 and increased by $200,000 for each show not won; the smallest and largest wins ($1,400,000 and $5,200,000) occurred within a month of one another.

=== [[Game Show]] Tropes in use: ===
* [[Bonus Round]]: In Safe Cracker, the winning player chooses whether to stay with his money or play a "half or double" round.
* [[Consolation Prize]]: Nobody left with less than $2,000. Small prizes like phones, calculators, or even ''MMaM'' scratchers were given to players before the game began.
