Split second game series#
The spiel for questions were phrased similar to this: "In a split second.put the historical figure with the correct place." Clark would then proceed to read a series of answers which were humorously wrong, followed by a correct one. Split/Second: Velocity is a competitive, high speed, arcade-racing game developed by Polar Motion Games and published by Microsoft. The video clip removed from YouTube had only one question read, but it appears the humor in the game came from Clark's reading the scripted wrong answers.

In addition, ringing in had to be done before a set of four timer indicator lights, on a panel in front of the contestants' desks, had all been shut off - the lights were arranged in a row (similar to what we might consider a progress indicator in a computer program now) and were shut off at a rate of approximately one light per half-second, meaning contestants had about two seconds to ring in when a particular answer was read. The 1965 Split Second was an unsold general-knowledge quiz unrelated to the more well-known show of the same name.įrom the YouTube clip that has unfortunately since been removed, the object of the game, as host Jack Clark explained, was for contestants to "make contact" - or ring in with a signaling device on the desk in front of them, when they heard him read a correct answer.
