==Trivia== Bill Cullen won his only Emmy award for his work on the show. In the 1980-1982 run, the game board was run by slide projectors (ala shows like ''Press Your Luck'', ''The Joker's Wild'' and ''Bullseye''). Each one's responsible for each of the 20 hexagons. It had lighted trapezoids on the sides which flashed with the appropriate colored hexagons (white for white & red for red). The white trapezoids double as secret doors which open up to reveal eight golden capsules for the Gold Rush/Run; as shown in one episode, the white hexagons turned gold when the transition occurs. Absent from earlier weeks, at the top of the board was a flip sign reading "$5,000" which was obviously used for the Gold Rush/Run only. At one time at the start of a show before a playing of the Gold Rush/Run, [[Tom Kennedy]] (who hosted ''[[Password|Password Plus]]'' at the time) was inside the board and stuck his head out a top hexagon to promote the time change for ''Password Plus''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwlX8g_TJpo Tom Kennedy visits Blockbusters plus Gold Run]</ref> Also, late in the run, the background of the set changed from gold to blue. On two shows during Christmas time, several of the hexagons make up a Christmas tree with red & white hexagons flashing back & forth.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL9KOrRRT8k Second Blockbusters Christmas Tree]</ref>
