Clack

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klack was a children's game show that ran every Saturday morning on RTL Plus from February 4, 1989 . The 60-minute show was moderated by Nicole Bierhoff . The last program ran on December 19, 1992, and was canceled as part of a program reform on RTL . Two school classes played against each other in Klack. There were various games in which the children measured each other.

The games

The show offered various disciplines, some of which were XXL formats of well-known board games. A selection of them:

  • In the NES game Super Mario Bros. they had to collect as many points as possible in the first level
  • A skateboard video game in which the contestant, balancing on a skateboard, had to successfully steer the character through a park
  • In Knobel-Klack , the flashing number had to be pressed as quickly as possible.
  • In the hit-clack you had to connect moving bars with the help of a buzzer to form a square. This was repeated until either all possible squares were completed or three mistakes were made.
  • With Tele-Klack , a point had to be stopped in good time via the buzzer so that it stopped at the specified number of 1–9.
  • At the clack pirate , a pirate was sitting in a barrel. Swords had to be stuck into it. If the pirate's head popped out when a sword was struck, that candidate had lost.
  • In Logo-Klack , words had to be formed from a word salad.
  • Kroko-Klack was a large version of the then new Kroko Doc, in which the crocodile's teeth had to be pulled. If its mouth closed, the candidate lost.
  • With Skill-Klack , the aim was to keep balls in the game for as long as possible in a kind of vertical labyrinth thanks to movable, wrench-shaped elements.
  • In Monster-Mix you had to find a randomly generated, 3-part monster from a large selection as quickly as possible.
  • In the Klack family , the various family members hid in the house. Whoever found the person they were looking for won.
  • In the end, the children's fathers also competed in a Carrera car race .
