Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (PS1) Playthrough
1"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" for the PlayStation 1, released in 2000, is a video game adaptation of the popular television quiz show of the same name. Developed by Hothouse Creations and published by Eidos Interactive, the game faithfully recreates the quiz format, allowing players to experience the thrill of attempting to win a virtual million-dollar prize.
Players take on the role of a contestant, answering a series of multiple-choice questions with increasing difficulty levels. The game incorporates lifelines such as Phone-a-Friend, 50:50, and Ask the Audience, adding strategic elements to the gameplay. The host, voiced by the original show's host (Regis Philbin in the U.S. version), guides players through the virtual quiz, providing commentary and maintaining the atmosphere of the TV show.
The presentation strives to replicate the show's set and visual style, creating an immersive experience for players. The questions cover a wide range of topics, testing players' general knowledge. While the graphics are limited by the capabilities of the PS1, the game excels in delivering an authentic and enjoyable rendition of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" experience in a gaming format.
