* The first ''Card Sharks'' video game was released by Sharedata and Softie in 1988 for the [[Apple II]], [[Commodore 64]] and [[IBM PC compatible]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/cardsharks/index.html |title=PC Games, Computer Games |publisher=GameSpot |date=2014-04-17 |access-date=2014-04-21}}</ref> It is based on the 1986–89 format, using the single sudden-death question tiebreaker in the main game. If a contestant gets an exact guess on a question in the main game, they win a $100 bonus, instead of the $500 bonus on the show. Also, unlike the show, the game does not use the educated guess or audience poll questions.

The rules and gameplay are based from a variety of the 1970s and 1980s variants. More survey questions were also available for download.
* A single-player online game was released by the now defunct website uproar.com. The logo and set were similar to its 2001–02 counterpart while its gameplay (minus the poll questions) was very similar to the 1970s and 1980s counterparts. However, as of September 30, 2006, the website no longer offered any game show-based games of any kind.
* The now defunct website ''Gameshow24.com'' had an online version of ''Card Sharks'' in 2004.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gameshow24.com/ |title=demo-home |access-date=16 October 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517120342/http://gameshow24.com/ |archive-date=May 17, 2014}}</ref> Its logo and set were based on the original 1978–81 format, and the main theme song had a unique mixture of both the 1978 and 2001 productions, and like its ''Uproar.com'' counterpart it had no poll questions either, but its gameplay was very similar to that of ''[[The Price Is Right]]'' where players have to guess grocery items that were 'higher' or 'lower' than the ones that precede them. The show was also similar to ''The Price Is Right'' in that it used various sound effects and theme music from ''The Price Is Right'' at various points, such as playing the infamous [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jz1TjCphXE losing horn] for a bust or for failing to win the car in the bonus round during the Eubanks and Rafferty eras.
* In 2021, a brand new online version of ''Card Sharks''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.arkadium.com/games/card-sharks/ |title=Card Sharks {{!}} Instantly Play Online For Free - Arkadium}}</ref> was released by the casual gaming website called ''[[Arkadium]]'' where it mostly plays like the Perry, Eubanks/Rafferty versions from the 70s & 80s (along with their theme songs from '86 & '78) respectively, but just like the McHale version on ABC from season 2, it had seven rows of playing cards for the champion (red) & challenger (blue) to play with instead of five.
