  • A playthrough of a 21-question episode from Berkeley Systems' 1995 game show trivia game for PCs running Windows 3.1/95, You Don't Know Jack!
    The majority of modern trivia games in video game form have YDKJ! to thank for many things. It single-handedly established the format that nearly every other game in the genre followed (and many still do, including its own multitude of sequels and updates), and this is for very good reason.
    Jellyvision seemed to just get it. Trivial Pursuit is a board game and requires no electricity. How can a video game do something similar in a whole new way to justify itself? How do you make it appeal to a younger generation, and make it sell?
    The answer? Humor, writing, and money. Simple, right?
    It's obvious in hindsight, but the YDKJ!'s production was a real revelation at the time. It had TONS of commentary and quips from the chatterbox of a host, and it wasn't throwaway fluff. Nearly all of it had some layer or allusion, innuendo, intimation... whatever you want to call it. It's unapologetically 'adult' in its presentation, but it's never gross or embarrassingly inappropriate. It's just clever and witty, and it's all well delivered. I'm sure it was not cheap to develop, given the staggering amount of prescripted content on offer.
    Even though there are virtually no graphics, don't judge it too quickly. This package is the real deal, and makes for a killer time with a group of friends around the keyboard.
    And when you end the game, don't touch anything! Those commercial breaks are some of the best jokes! So much so that I compiled all of the commercials from the first four games in the series into a single video, which may watch here: • You Don't Know Jack! V...
    And for the PS1 version of the game:

    The very first game in the now prolific trivia series, this 1995 introduction to YDKJ was so far beyond anything else out at the time, and is still just as good as it ever was. It's pretty plain to see where many modern trivia/game show games get their "inspiration" from! ;)

    At 6:48, the host wonders about the song Yankee Doodle. Well, the lyrics make no sense without a quick vocab lesson. It was a British pub song that belittled America.
    Yankee - Unsophisticated colonist
    Doodle - Scatterbrained goofball, like some doodling through life
    Dandy - Someone who adopted the flamboyant clothing and hairdos of British aristocrats
    Macaroni - A wild hair style worn by some young British trendsetters at the time
    So Yankee Doodle depicts a dimwitted American colonist trying to pass himself off as rich and trendy by sticking a feather in his cap and calling it macaroni. An insult, right? But when the underdog American colonists booted the Redcoats back to England, the song became an ironic American anthem of sorts,

      There’s at least a dozen or so different intros you hear every time you boot the game up.
