Summary: Jeopardy Patch for Windows ME
Review: Actually, there is a patch for this game online that supposedly fixes the Jeopardy game for use with Windows ME. Unfortunately, I can't get the patch to work, and the game still locks up at a certain point before game play begins. The patch can be found by going to www.hasbrointeractive.com and following the links to product support.

Summary: The same Jeopardy you've seen on TV, except for a few flaws
Review: All in all, a fun game set up just about exactly as the tv show goes. But I ran into a couple of problems. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the "alt" key is considerably slower than the space bar when ringing in and playing against an opponent. This gives an obvious disadvantage to the player stuck with that control. Another is in the variety of questions. For some reason, I know many more answers when I watch the show on tv, versus playing the cd rom (which could be my fault, I'll admit!)but I believe that the questions here are more difficult. Also, I have had "repeat" questions come up from previous games, though I've probably played the game no more than a dozen times.

Summary: It's Way Too Much Fun!
Review: I got this for my birthday and have already spent hours playing it. The only complaint I have about it, is that it won't give you the answer if you've misspelled it. For example, if you spell Caracas Venezuela as Caracus, you get the answer wrong. In spite of that, I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Summary: Good product ... but some definite flaws
Review: I like the Jeopardy CD-Rom game and find it vastly improved over a very old floppy disk version I've played. However, I find it extremely annoying that entire categories repeat themselves frequently, making it impossible to play fairly with other people when you already have seen the answers. Also, on my computer, the player with the control key seems to have a big advantage over the player with the space bar, and overall I have found the questions to be way too easy. I also find that the computer players frequently make ridiculous wagers when they hit the daily doubles. It is not unusual for them to wager all their money when they already have a big lead and take themselves completely out of the game if they miss; nobody in real life would be that stupid. On the positive side, this game closely resembles the TV version, the graphics are crisp and it's easy to play. Just don't expect it to do anything towards preparing you to go on TV and play for real.

Summary: Great Game!
Review: I love this game, even though there are a few flaws. I'll look forward to the 2nd edition of the game, if another company decides to make one. If you are a big fan of Jeopardy!, then I would buy it, but if your just an average gamer, I would'nt get it.

Summary: Good for 1 player - no good for multiple players
Review: I love this game, except for one glaring problem: when multiple humans are playing, one is assigned the space bar as a ring in key. This key always reacts slower than the other keys (control and alt), making mult-player games frustrating.
