Jeopardy! is the classic 1988 NES adaptation of the beloved television trivia show. Released during the height of Alex Trebek’s early syndication run, this 8-bit port captures the authentic format of the show, allowing up to three players to compete across Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and Final Jeopardy rounds. You’ll select categories and dollar amounts, buzz in to solve clues, and wager your earnings to become the champion.
How to Play
Compete against computer opponents or friends by picking categories and answering trivia questions. When a clue is revealed, buzz in quickly and use the on-screen keyboard to carefully spell out your response before the timer runs out. The standard NES controls apply in your browser: use the Arrow keys to navigate the board and letter selection, press Z to buzz in and select letters, and Enter to pause the game.
Tips
- Watch your spelling: The game strictly requires exact spelling for answers, so double-check your text before confirming.
- Master the buzzer: Computer opponents can be incredibly fast. Try to anticipate when the clue finishes displaying on screen so you can buzz in immediately.
