A straightforward television quiz adaptation that is among the cheapest US carts on the Genesis.
This is the Genesis version of Jeopardy!, the television quiz show in which contestants are given clues in the form of answers and must phrase their responses as questions. Park Place Productions developed it and GameTek published it in North America in 1992.
What the press said at the time
| MegaTech Issue 32 | August 1994 | 55% |
| MegaTech Issue 34 | October 1994 | 55% |
“Bizarre conversion of the television quiz show. God-awful graphics, even worse sound and about as much playability as a brick. Good for those dreary family get-togethers though, but unfortunately the questions are all American-related.”
“God-awful graphics, even worse sound and about as much playability as a brick.”
Before you buy
Among US carts the loose cart is one of the cheapest. A cardboard-box edition is priced separately from the plastic-case copy, and a complete box copy usually costs more. A complete copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
