Jeopardy! (Game Boy) Playthrough [4K]
3"Jeopardy!" for the Game Boy is a video game adaptation of the popular American television quiz show of the same name. Developed by Rare and released in 1991, it offers players the chance to experience the excitement of the iconic trivia game on the portable Game Boy console.
The game faithfully recreates the format of the television program, featuring various categories with clues of increasing difficulty and point values. At the start of each round, players are presented with a board featuring six categories, each containing five questions with dollar amounts ranging from $100 to $500. Questions increase in difficulty as the dollar values rise. Players select categories and attempt to buzz in first to respond to clues presented in the form of answers, with contestants required to phrase their responses in the form of questions, just like in the show. Correct answers earn players the corresponding money, while incorrect responses deduct from their total.
The final round consists of a single question; players wager based on their confidence in answering. The player with the most money after the final question emerges victorious, meaning it's possible to win despite answering the last question incorrectly. Adding an element of unpredictability, there are three "Daily Doubles" hidden within the questions during the first two rounds. When a player selects one, they can wager any amount of their money on the question, offering the potential for substantial leads.
