(Pressman 1988)
Electric Jeopardy!
A traditional box game packaged
with a crude battery-operated lock-out device.
(Tiger 1995)
Jeopardy! Electronic LCD handheld game
This original version also featured
additional cartridges (as many as a dozen) sold separately. Each
cartridge (including the one that came with the game) contained 30 categories
and over a thousand clues, and also included a separate Answer/Question
Book. Because the main unit used category numbers rather than category
names, each cartridge could feature thirty different categories.
This original game was released in two different packages, but the game
and the material were identical in both. The travel versions and
deluxe edition below are entirely different games.
(Tiger 1998)
Travel Jeopardy!
A smaller version of the original
above. Each of the three travel versions (released simultaneously

and not expandable.
(Tiger 1999)
Deluxe Edition Jeopardy!
A "new and improved" version of
the 1995 game featuring 60 categories and 1500 clues. This new version
showed the clues on its LCD display, eliminating the need for a separate
Answer/Question Book. Two additional cartridges, each featuring 60
different categories and a thousand new clues, were sold separately.
