- In memory of Alex Trebek: 1940-2020
My apologies about the super long and unexpected hiatus. I don't know, I guess I just haven't been feeling the video making itch lately? Either way, I figured this was a good time to do a video on one of the many Jeopardy computer game adaptations, due to Alex Trebek's recent unfortunate and untimely passing.
So...let's get the elephant in the room out of the way first. I am BAD at this game. No joke, no exaggeration, I am absolutely horrendous at it. The first time I played this game, I ended with a score -750. No, that minus in front of it is not a typo. I really did end up with a negative score. So, if you are here expecting a skillful player, leave right now. Please. I guarantee you will be screaming at your monitor at least five times minimum during this video.
Are all of you willing to deal with my bad skill still around? Good.
Does this really need any introduction? You all know this show, it's run on a nightly syndicated basis since 1985 and goes back even further than that. It's a reverse of the trivia format, each game consisting of six categories with five answers each worth different money amounts based on the clue difficulty. This particular computer game adaptation was released in 1998, and is very faithful to the show right down to Johnny Gilbert as announcer and the legendary Alex Trebek as host.
So, this will also need to be said, yes I cheated a few times. Trust me, if I didn't, you porobably wouldn't even be seeing Final Jeopardy. This game can't be exploited quite as easily as I could for Who Wants to be a Millionaire though, as there isn't anywhere near as much time given to answer questions, and some clues are worded in a vague enough way that even Google won't save you. I also generally hesitated to buzz in if I didn't know the answer right off the top of my head, though that often meant the computers buzzed in on questions I could have potentially gotten.
Overall, I actually did kind of okay even with answering questions I did know. I kinda feel I underperformed in the "Apostles" category in the second round (though it doesn't help I don't tend to remember contextual details like the things they asked about), and I had a few dumb mistakes as well, but there were times I didn't feel too bad about not knowing as well. All in all though, I think this turned out alright and yeah, I know I didn't deserve that victory, but hey, I do prefer to actually show games being won for this channel so there is that.
I hope you enjoy this video!

Welcome back to RUclips, Mr. Eight-Three-One! My dad has been watching "Jeopardy!" for many years, and I have been watching it since 2011. It's a great American game show, alongside "Wheel of Fortune." My mom also watched some episodes of both game shows.
I heard about Alex Trebek's passing earlier this month; may he rest in peace. He was a fantastic game show host, and he will be missed, but we can always watch "Jeopardy!" episodes that feature him at any time. He didn't even make it to Thanksgiving (today), and we won't hear from him anymore in 2021 and beyond either! Real shame. I will express condolences to Alex Trebek's family saying that I am sorry to hear about their loss, and I will also pray for them! I wonder who will be the next "Jeopardy!" host, starting next year?
I have a couple "Jeopardy!" video games for the PlayStation 1 and Nintendo Wii. A lot of the questions in the "Jeopardy!" Wii video game were complicated, so my dad and I used to play it together. It was also excellent. He and I also tried playing "Jeopardy! 2nd Edition" for the PS1, but its answer-typing aspect was way too hard, so in late 2017, I listed it on eBay so I could get rid of it. Here in this PC game, you seem to often make the best timing with inserting answers. Happy Thanksgiving, and great gameplay footage of this 1998 PC game!
There will be a series of interim hosts before a permanent host is chosen on January 11, 2021. Former 74-time Jeopardy champion (and consulting producer) Ken Jennings will be the first interim host starting Monday, November 30.
@@rileysutton1879 Yeah, I will be looking forward to seeing the new "Jeopardy!" hosts next year and seeing how they do.
Happy birthday 🎂
Piece out
@@rileysutton1879Nice try but that's wrong. 7:11
23:54 Jeopardy should record this message from Alex after every show from now on. "Thanks for playing Jeopardy". It made me tear up hearing that now that Alex is dead.
IN MEMORIAM
GEORGE ALEXANDER "ALEX" TREBEK
JULY 22, 1940-NOVEMBER 8, 2020

Alex: Player 1?
Player 1: What is United Nations.
Alex: That's wrong.
7:14
Alex: Player 3.
Player 3: What is the United Nations.
Alex(here): Good guess, but that's wrong.
Alex(if he was still alive and if this really is him hosting this one): No! Player 1 said that!
This similar event happened when Watson was competing against 2 Jeopardy Champions
THE GOD AND LEGEND HAS RETURNETH!

Glad to see that you're back. Hopefully everything is all well in your life.
Welcome back, happy thanksgiving!
I was bad at this game too
Mr. Eight-Three-One Jeopardy actually started in 1984 with a then 44-year-old Trebek as the host, revitalizing the old series originally hosted by the late Art Fleming (1924-95).
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving :D

hello i'm sorry to bother you but i'm looking for an old pc brick breaker game i'll explain this a little brick breaker game in the game in the scores menu ilya had a background was presented with prison cages i remembers it was dark in the room and in this menu ilya had written the scores and I remember when we finish a level the saficher ilya prison had lots of balloons with tax authorities which fly upwards I know if you have known this game the time and I can not remember the name of the blow if you know can give me the name of this game I have been looking for a long time
Oh the days when you actually had to type in the response. Multiple choice Jeopardy! dumbs it down too much IMO.
