DESCRIPTION

Jeopardy! is no longer a passive experience with this translation of the popular game show for the game.com. The cartridge closely follows the format of the television program, where three players compete to buzz-in and provide the "question" to the "answer" on the screen. Each game consists of two rounds: Jeopardy! and Double Jeopardy! The former has each correct answer worth $100 to $500, while the latter doubles the value from $200 to $1000.

The game.com version of Jeopardy! includes categories ranging from "history" and "animals" to "classic sitcoms" and "birthplaces." The touch-screen interface has players using the stylus to tap on question values, buzz-in, and to input answers by highlighting letters from an onscreen keyboard. Options include individual toggles for speech, time limit, and number of players. Friends can also challenge each other by using the separate compete.com link cable. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
