The original 1960s version of ``The Match Game'' bears only a superficial resemblance to the more star-studded '70s version, beyond the presence of host Gene Rayburn. This earlier edition features two three-member teams -- two studio contestants and a celebrity team leader in each case -- who try to match answers to straightforward questions. The bonus round has team members trying to guess the answers to an audience survey, a format later to turn up on ``Family Feud.''
