Minute To Win It is available in the App Store for $2. It comes with ten mini games, and according to the first couple reviews, the controls are lacking. Will post a quick review if I buy it.

I bought the game and it is much better than the Wii version. People who complain about controls and say it took them forever to learn how to play the game obviously didn't read the on-screen instructions on how to perform a task. For "Egg Roll," the game says you swipe your finger in front of an egg to move it. I mean, com'on, how can you NOT know how to do that?

It only comes with 10 games, as of now. I've played Sticky Balls, Separation Anxiety, Egg Roll and Hangover. Those have been easy to learn, but you have to find the perfect balance in completing them. Overall, much better than the Wii version, but hopefully they'll add more games.

I've played Sticky Balls

Oh, if I had a nickel.

And that joke is officially out of the way!

(For a "family-friendly" show, I enjoy the clever innuendos that slip by in the game titles.)

Then you'd have five cents

I found the YDKJ PC game at Gamestop - $19.99. I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Much like we're seeing from Norm Blumenthal in the Concentration thread, Pyramid was very much a product of one zealously protective producer's vision.  Stripped of that, you sometimes get lucky with a remake, but there's usually something about it that just feels wrong, not just to us fans, but to the general public.  I have no doubt that a Pyramid remake could be successful, but the odds would seem to be against it.

Interesting point. One thing, though: Classic Concentration was a very good remake. Maybe they just got lucky with another thoughtful puzzle maker (was he a producer?) in Steve Ryan. Maybe it's that Pyramid is only simple in structure--making the material work is diabolically hard.

Steve became an associate producer during the run.

And you make a good point right back.  The content of most games is so important, and so few modern game makers realize that.  Although I know Mr. Blumenthal disagrees, Steve Ryan made some very clever rebus puzzles, which helped make Classic work.  I finally picked up the cheapie (but official) computer version of Concentration a little while ago, and the pathetic puzzles, even in 'hard' mode, just make the whole thing a big waste of time.

But since it's marketed as a casual game, the "pathetic" puzzles might be helping those of a new generation get interested in that brand. That game got my younger sister, probably 9 or 10 at the time, hooked on the TV format of Concentration.

While I was in ToysRUs over the weekend, I noticed a spot reserved for the MDMD Card Game from Cardinal.  They didn't have the game itself, but the label showed a price of $14.99!  A little higher than I'd expected, but probably because, from the picture shown in earlier post, it includes an electronic timer.

If you have an iPad or iPhone/iPod touch, the You Don't Know Jack iOS game needs to be downloaded right now. Only $3 for the full version (20 full games different from the console versions) and if you're not completely sold, a free version exists with two more episodes. It's got all of the features and question types from the 2011 relaunch, minus multiplayer and the Wrong Answer of the Game.

Are you absolutely certain all of the content is different from the new console versions? Are you including the two Xbox Jack Pack DLCs in that?

(What I mean to say is, does this information come from Jellyvision, or your own experience? And if the former, can you give us a citation?)

The information comes from Jellyvision and seeing the first game alone make reference to Charlie Sheen's goddesses, the passing of Elizabeth Taylor and Rebecca Black's "Friday," it was very obviously written recently.
