It's a fun game! Only problem is that it reeks of Mo' Money Syndrome. The money really adds up. At the end of my six-day run as champion, I had $1,814,837. If the questions were harder, I could see it being a good game show.

Not a bad game at all.  The first thing I thought of when I saw the layout was Q-Bert, but nicely done.

This would be a great show to put on TV, just reduce the cash prizes a bit -- like knock off the last digit.


EDIT:  The one thing that bothers me about the game as I played a few times now (if it were to go to real TV at face value) is that if you only know 1 of the 3 questions, the wagering makes it too easy to win the level.  

I'd much prefer getting at least 2 of 3 questions right in order to advance.

Not a bad game. Only complaint is, even at the "Championship" level, the questions aren't really that difficult.

And I agree the payouts seemed really ridiculously huge for a simple trivia game. $10,000 for "Was Al Gore Vice-President?"

Pat's "hosting" is alright, but he often sounds bored and robotic. Some of his lines are pretty funny though.

But, it's a great way to kill an hour.
