Match Game (1979–82) is a game show that aired in Syndication. It was the fourth version of Match Game and succeeded the second version as a daytime version, as the third version still ran during the nighttime.

This was virtually identical to the CBS show except that two players played two games, and there was no $100 payoff to the winner of the game (which meant that a player could win both games, strike out completely in both Super-Matches and go home with bupkiss--save for the parting gifts announced at the end). When time permitted, Gene Rayburn would give audience members a chance to win $50 a piece by having them guess the answer to a fill-in-the-black written by a celebrity.
