Description
Based on the tv game show. Three players compete against each other by coming up with the question for a given answer. There are two rounds of play each with six categories of answers, and one final round consisting of a single answer. Each correct question given can be worth from $100 to $1000 for the player to respond first, or if a daily double is uncovered the player to find it may bet up to the current amount of money they have. The player with the most money at the end wins. Jeopardy! features a high scores table so players can save their characters wins and losses, different male and female character animations to choose from, and of course a wide variety of answers and questions. Up to three human players can compete, or a combination of human and computer players.

Great fun for the Commodore 64
The Good
The Daily Double and Final Jeapardy rounds are just like the game show and the programmers from Share Data did a great job with all the extras. The commodore 64 version in 1987 is still better than some windows versions I have tried. I have enjoyed playing this game for 8 hours in groups competing against one another and still didn't see any of the questions/answers repeated. There is a list of champions at the end of each game.
The Bad
When a group of 3 players are competing on a C64 computer the game was not forgiving if anything is not spelled correctly. Also the questions appear on a light blue screen in tiny font and some players are unable to read them quickly.
The Bottom Line
Like the popular game show - you choose your image from a wide variety of contestants who respond to fanfare and sit behind the panels just like in the show. You choose the answers in on-screen categories and the person who can get to the buzzer first has first chance at guessing the question.
