Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhance Learning with the MGA Jeopardy Game Base System by Dany Meadows

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great game idea - good software is missing

1. Taken out of the box in 30 minutes. If you don't want to keep the box, you can open it much faster. I wanted to store the box but not disturb it.2. I was very disappointed to see that composite video was used to connect to the TV. Communication at the lowest level! And it must be connected between your VCR and your TV. After watching "JEOPARDY" in high definition, the picture quality deteriorated dramatically.3. The game begins with Alex Trebek reading the categories and pointing them out on a large board with clue values. Then the hint values disappear. Categories are still displayed, but no available values. After you select a category, you are presented with the remaining values in that category. Alex Trebek reads out the clue and you press the signal button to answer and you have a choice of three answers. A correct answer is rewarded with a green tick, an incorrect answer with a red cross. There is no interaction with Alex other than reading the question.4. This game could be so much more. I guess I'm spoiled playing special features on movie DVDs. It didn't take much to add the rest of the interactive features to this game. This is not the first product from this company (MGA is part of SONY) to have been corrupted by their software. Sony DHG-HDD500, SONY RM-AX4000 High Definition Digital Video Recorder The built-in remote control is a great idea for finding good software.
