That it's "game based" rather than "show based" probably puts it even earlier in time because when the games were revealed as flops, the advertising and merchandise focus went to the show which was actually funny to watch, but didn't feature much of the game's mechanics and hallmarks/calling-cards (Ex. they weren't always using ring magic /shooting lightening out in the show)
