Instant Retro - Remote Control (NES) - Pop Grumps
9In the late 90s Nick and Joe uncovered a game so mindlessly trivial, so amazingly pointless in their lives, that they played it almost every day for an entire Summer. Why, you ask? Because it was already there in the house.

Remote Control is a TV game show that ran on MTV for five seasons from 1987 until 1990. It was MTV's first original non-musical program. New episodes were made for first-run syndication from 1989 until 1990 which were distributed by Viacom. Three contestants answered trivia questions on movies, music, and television, many of which were presented in skit format.
The series was developed by producers Joe Davola and Michael Duggan.
It was directed by Dana Calderwood.
In 1990, a video game based on Remote Control was licensed for multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990 and the Apple IIGS in 1989. The video games were published by Hi-Tech Expressions. The game remained quite similar to the show, although the NES version has no endgame.
1990 also saw a DOS version released; like the NES version, it has no endgame. In the DOS game, the contestant in last place is eliminated when the TV goes "Off the Air" in the middle of the second round instead of at the end. The other two contestants then complete the round, and then play a "Think Real Fast" round.
