The rule changes have been really minor over the years, the most notable being Bullseye, and this version is the same as the original incarnation of that game...unlike, say, the original Match Game morphing into the comedy version, or the Price is Right adding all the "carnival" pricing games in its revival. To me, watching a Dawson or Combs episode is about the same, game-play wise, as the current version (and with the set re-designed to evoke the old style, it's even more similar).
