Based on the television game show, Jeopardy! 2nd Edition challenges you to compose over four thousand new answers in the form of questions. The game's three modes include the Normal Game, Solo Game and Tournament of Champions with a "Behind the Scenes" feature thrown in for extra measure.
As in the actual game show, the Normal Game involves three human or computer-controlled contestants and two trivia-based rounds plus a Final Jeopardy question. Spanning six distinctive categories, there are 30 clues of varying cash amounts per round.
In the Jeopardy! Round, answers range from one to five hundred dollars with harder questions worth the most money; the monetary values are then doubled in the Double Jeopardy! Round. Hidden "Daily Doubles" that allow you to wager as much of your cash winnings as you desire on the current clue are located on the "video wall," a grid of six categories with five questions under each.
In order to answer the clues, you must buzz in and type in the correct response within a specified time limit. Answer correctly and you earn that clue's dollar amount -- incorrect answers will reduce your accumulated total. Unlike the actual game, you do not have to type the response in the form of a question as the program automatically puts in the appropriate phrasing such as "Who is...?" or "What is...?"
After the two initial rounds, the Final Jeopardy! round awaits. Final Jeopardy! features a single answer on which all contestants wager. You cannot wager more money than you have amassed throughout the game. Whoever has the highest cash total at the end of the game wins!
The Solo Game is similar to the aforementioned Normal Game with one exception: there are no opponents. Your objective is to earn the highest cash amount possible. Finally, the Tournament of Champions is for those who've won five games or accumulated more than $75,000 and, because these players are among the elite, answers and questions are harder.
The "Behind the Scenes" feature offers sample contestant exams, backstage video footage and hidden interviews with host Alex Trebek and the producers of Jeopardy!.
Jeopardy! 2nd Edition also features adjustable options including buzz-in times, response times, computer AI settings and a toggle between loose or strict spelling accuracy. Career statistics are tracked through the number of games won and lost, total winnings, best/worst category and score, round scores, tournament games won, correct and incorrect answers and the computer player IQ.
Get in there and win some virtual money by asking the right questions!

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
