I used to watch this game show a lot, and I think they used Amigas for a long while in the early 1990s, as I recognised them immediately, with rushed DPaint jobs and lots of dithering in the shading (it was OCS/ECS). Then, in the late 1990s, they were replaced with PC VGA graphics with lots of shades in the graphics. They were really both recognisable.

It was also during the Amiga years that the show's most famous gaffe, Snake Charmer, occurred. Watch this Amiga comedy and laugh your socks off:
