Fact of the Day: Jeopardy!'s Original Host

Alex Trebek is Jeopardy! as we know it today. However before the 80's the show was hosted by Art Fleming. 

Jeopardy! (Sega Game Gear) Review

I love my Jeopardy games apparently. Had to try out the old Sega Game Gear version of the classic game show. 

The graphics are quite a bit better than the NES version, even though it looks like I'm playing as Willie Tanner from ALF. There's only one other contestant though, whether you're facing the CPU or a human.  The sound is also horrid when they try to put in verbal sound clips from the show itself. The Sega Game Gear was not powerful enough for that. 

While the game-play moves a bit slow, and the questions are dated (of course) I liked most of the answers that they asked. Decent mix up on the categories, even though I stink at a few of them.

In short, it's really not a bad version. Could be better, but I could hope all day and never get anything. If you're a Jeopardy! fan I'd give it some consideration.

Score: 7 out of 10

Jeopardy! (NES) Review

I've played many versions of the classic game show in video game form, but the NES version had me interested. 

It's definitely very faithful to the show, pretty much on the spot.

The questions are decent, even though they are pretty fucking old. 

It's really not that bad of a game. Supports multiplayer, and is a decent experience especially for the NES. 

Score: 7 out of 10
