Jeopardy

Everything is here in this classic game derived from the TV game show. It plays well despite the minimalist graphics that the primitive technology at the time could only afford. Created twenty years ago, the graphics are understandably basic, but there is no lack of challenge in the questions that players face.
The audio, like the graphics, is basic as well. The famous Jeopardy theme song, while vaguely familiar, sounds more like it came from an old horror movie than from a mainstream television game show.

Be careful to keep the speakers low when playing for the first time to avoid a blowout.
This very first version of the great television game show is a lot of fun if you have a lot of patience. Many deficiencies in the game play cause the game to be frustrating to the casual player. For instance, you cannot proceed to the next round until all questions are answered. This is very different from the television show hosted by Alex Trebek. On the show, there is a time limit in each round, and the points for each player are totaled up when time expires. Also causing great frustration is the fact that other players in the game are able to buzz in with their answers before it is even possible to read the question (answer, that is).
As it is the first in a long line of games that were derived from the hit TV game show, there's a bit of a nostalgic feel that you get when playing it. I, for one, can remember playing this game on my friend's Tandy 2000. His monitor was black and white, so we didn't have the ability to see all of the greens and blues that made the game so advanced for its time. Regardless, we'd spend hours trying our best to answer questions that neither of us knew anything about, and we loved it.
I went through the rest of my childhood playing almost every version of the Jeopardy games that were available for whatever platform I had at the time. I remember playing many different versions of Jeopardy, but the first, most basic one that I played on that Tandy 2000 holds the fondest memories of all. Long before the Internet and the age of instant gratification, we played one of the slowest and most frustrating games for hours on end with no idea of how far technology would go to surpass it, leaving it among the ruins of a digital revolution that shows no signs of stopping.
