The only video game my parents ever opted to play with me.

I have to say way, way back when I was a kid I had a crappy Pentium 1. 100 MHz, with maybe 32 mb RAM. Yehaw. That sucker could only play a few games and when I found them my parents had to approve them. Then came “You Don’t Know Jack”. For the first time a multi-player party, trivia game had arrived on the PC scene and what do you know? It had attitude. The game was totally sarcastic to its users and for me that was A-Ok. The games modes supported up to 3 players and a few different game modes like a 7-question fast game and a full 21-question game. The game was situated as a real TV trivia show complete with behind-the-scenes crew and problems. Questions were posed and players “rang in” using the J, K, or L keys. Several types of questions were asked from the multiple-choice, to the “Gibberish Question”, to the hilarious Celebrity Question. Celebrity questions posed recorded telephone calls to celebrities asking questions of the local players. The game was simple, funny, and the questions reached out to the 30-something audience at the time. Specs were easy on the system and used on CD-ROM to store the video and audio clips. I got many years of enjoyment out of this game. I didn’t play much of the successors but it was worth it to play this one. Do yourself a favor and give it a spin.
