And at some of the prices I've seen on *cough*, ebay, I don't feel you really lose much.Note: playing against the computer as a challenge is probably going to disappoint for the smart people. I actually prefer this game a little more than the latter, but I haven't owned it long enough to know that the game is stocked with an amount of new questions that are not going to reoccur.For the price, I recommend it even with the shortcomings. The music is also much more resembling of the real game show as opposed to the music on the Wheel of Fortune handheld.
The flaws with this game are that the screen rolls the questions & multiple choice answers out like a bulletin, going from one side to the other. And the speed selections on the scroll is like ultra slow, medium, faster, and real fast. I'd have to disagree somewhat with the previous reviewer.
It's really just personal preference. Yeah, I'm stupid, so the computers a challenge to me. It would have been better had there been a larger screen to present the entire question at once.Having said that, those limitations do not bother me.
If you forget how the question started out you can always hit the "repeat" button.
The anticipation was great for the toy to entertain on road trips but the toy just didn't measure up to the Jeopardy name. I think having the screw cover is a great idea with kids but wish the screw was a larger size so time isn't lost picking up the smaller tool. This handheld game has the potential to be a fun yet educational toy for young minds but instead, it processes Jeopardy "answers" in a scroll pattern that moves quite slowly and also provides the "questions" by scroll with multiple choice selections. The device operates off of two AA batteries that are secured on the backside beneath a screwed cover that takes an eyeglass screwdriver to access.
