Game Show Simulator

History

This idea actually came about because of two things; one is that I am very good at game shows like Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud, the other is that I sucked at Trivial Pursuit (Classic Edition). The problem you see, is categories. There are many subjects of which I am very knowledgeable and many that I am not. While the Game Shows on TV certainly have a diverse selection of categories, it always seemed like my percentage rate in Trivial Pursuit was a fraction of what it was on the Game Shows.

I wanted to write a program on the PC to play custom versions of these games, however the score board and interactive elements made a computer seem like a poor choice. I know there are version of these games on the PC, however the console versions were able to be played on a TV and the controllers meant that everyone didn’t have to huddle around a single keyboard.
