This is a list of computer, internet and game console versions of TV game shows by format.  All the licensed games on this list appear in the regular pages as well, but this is an easier way to see what games are available for each machine.  Plus, there's interesting background on some console games here that isn't in the main section, including some information on a few games that didn't get released.  Categories:

COMPUTER GAMES
We have two lists for computer games.  The earliest games were released on floppy discs in the late eighties and early nineties, and by today's standards feature pretty crude game play and graphics.  We believe that all the earlier games were released for Apple and Commodore computers as well as IBM compatible machines, but we're not sure.  Many games published originally by Softie or Sharedata were rereleased by Gametek when the companies merged.

By the mid-nineties, computer home versions were being released on CD-ROM and were showing dramatic improvements in graphics and game play.  When game shows enjoyed a resurgence in the late nineties, many more games began to be released.  More details about some of these games can be found on the main pages dedicated to specific series.

CONSOLE GAMES
Listed alphabetically by console manufacturer.

ATARI 2600
No game show home versions were released for the classic 2600 console.  (A memory game called Concentration was similar to the TV show -- as all matching games are -- but not a licensed property.) However, an outfit called The Great Game Company planned to release seven game show games in 1983 before the bottom fell out of the Atari 2600 market.  The museum at Atari Gaming Headquarters has a vintage article publicizing the company and the museum's own brief history of the company's failed history.

(What you won't learn there is that The Great Game Company evolved into GameTek, which did end up releasing game show home games for many other formats.)


COLECO ADAM COMPUTER
    Family Feud (1983)
    Jeopardy! (1983)
The early home computer system called ADAM started out as sort of a souped-up version of the game console known as Colecovision.  No game show games were made for Colecovision, but software for the two classics above were licensed and produced for the ADAM system. Coleco released Family Feud, and original boxes for that game can be found.  Jeopardy! never had a professional release, so no box exists.  There remains a cult of ADAM users who have created their own (unlicensed) software for the system, including additional question sets for both games and a software package that allows users to create their own material.  One intrepid soul even made a version called Bible Jeopardy.

MILTON BRADLEY OMNI ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
    Jeopardy! (1981)
    Password Plus (1981)
The Omni Entertainment System was Milton Bradley's failed effort to gain a foothold in the electronic home game market.  The game software came on 8-track tapes that were inserted into the game console.  Milton Bradley produced about a dozen games, including versions of the two game shows above as well as trivia games featuring such personalities as Vincent Price and Pat Summerall.

NINTENDO NES
    American Gladiators (GameTek 1991)
    Classic Concentration (GameTek 1990)
    Double Dare (GameTek 1988)
    Family Feud (GameTek 1990) ("The All-New Family Feud")
    Fun House (1990)
    Hollywood Squares (GameTek 1988)
    Jeopardy! (GameTek 1987)
    Jeopardy! Junior Edition (GameTek 1988)
    Jeopardy! 25th Anniversary Edition (GameTek 1990)
    Jeopardy! Super Jeopardy! Edition (GameTek 1991)
    Remote Control (Hi Tech 1989)
    Wheel of Fortune (GameTek 1987)
    Wheel of Fortune Junior Edition (GameTek 1989)
    Wheel of Fortune Family Edition (GameTek 1990)
    Wheel of Fortune Featuring Vanna White (GameTek 1990)
    Win, Lose or Draw (1989)

Gametek also announced several more games that never got released.  In the materials for the 1987 Jeopardy! NES game are coming-soon announcements and box art for The Price Is Right, Password and Hollywood Squares.  Squares is the only one of the three that got released, and it was in a much different box than the one shown.  (Oddly, the photo shown on the Password box art was from The $25,000 Pyramid!)  Gametek also announced the release of a Super Password for the NES in 1990, but it never made its way to store shelves either.

    Jeopardy! (1990)
    Jeopardy! Sports Edition (1993)
    Jeopardy! Super Edition (1994)
    Jeopardy! Platinum Edition (1996)

            (Third Edition called Wheel of Fortune 2003)

There was not a first edition for the Playstation, so the two versions available are somewhat confusingly called Second Edition and Third Edition

The Travel Editions of Family Feud and Jeopardy! were smaller units with no slot for expansion cartridges.  There were three versions of each travel game, all released at the same time.  The tabletop games are slightly larger affairs, also with no slot for expansion cartridges. The Deluxe Editions of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! are slightly larger and more elaborate games with more features than the originals.  Original expansion cartridges are compatible with the Deluxe units, but Deluxe expansion cartridges won't work with the original games.

TIGER GAME.COM
    Jeopardy! (1998)
    Wheel of Fortune (1997)
    Wheel of Fortune 2 (1997)

Some Tiger advertising also refers to a Name That Tune cartridge for game.com, something that probably would have been similar to their handheld game.  For whatever reason, it was never released.

OFFICIAL INTERNET GAMES
Official internet versions of game shows usually come and go as fast as the shows themselves.  Every time a new show debuts, you can pretty much count on the show's official website to have some kind of online version to play.  We probably won't be able to keep up with every change, so some of these links may already be down, and we may not have the newest ones for the newest shows, but here are some notable official links:

GSN: The Network for Games
Naturally, "the network for games" has games to play on their website.  The lineup changes from time to time, but typically includes at least a few adaptations of their current offerings.

Sony Pictures Games
You can pretty much always count on some form of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! (including Rock and Roll Jeopardy!), plus many other non-game show games.  Sony has two new games scheduled for Fall, 2007, so you'll probably see online versions of those too at some point.

NBC
Play online versions of NBC's two prime time hits Deal or no Deal and 1 vs 100.

iWin.com
Official versions of Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy! and many others, including Pat Sajak's Trivia Gems

AOL Games
Another site with official Wheel and Jeopardy games, this one also has Lingo and many other non-game show games.

And three unusual examples of authorized and active versions of defunct series:
THE CHAIR 
    The BBC version (also hosted by John McEnroe) offers a FLASH game on its official site.
STARCADE 
    The original producers of this videogame TV series have an elaborate site including an online game to play.
2 MINUTE DRILL
    ESPN still has their sports trivia site on-line, and the game is a faithful recreation.

UNLICENSED COMPUTER GAMES
Some consider them labors of love by talented and dedicated fans.  Others see them as copyright violations.  Whatever your opinion, fans have made computer and internet versions of their favorite TV shows, and posted them on the web for all to enjoy.  Many use actual sounds and images from the TV shows, and most are a vast improvement over the crude early efforts licensed by GameTek and others. These games are not included in our regular listings, and we aren't endorsing them.  Download and play them at your own risk.  Any programmer who would like a games included in this section (or would like a listing removed) should feel free to contact us.  This list includes games you can download from websites, as well as games you can play right on the internet.

Listed roughly in order of how frequently the sites are updated with new material.

JOYTUBE
Huge selection of games, some original and some adaptations.  Names have been changed, so you might have to search to find your favorites.

Stunning visuals and a wide variety of games, though most are currently unavailable during a transition.
 
PACDUDE GAMES
"Be less bored" (the site's slogan) with some original games, some faithful adaptations and some goofy ones (Meal or No Meal?)

CROSSBEARER SOFTWARE
Curt King's Press Your Luck was one of the first great fan-designed games, and it's still available here along with a couple others.
 
GAME SHOW WAREHOUSE
Some common choices (Lingo, Press Your Luck) and others you're not likely to see anywhere else (Whew!, The Mole)

CONCENTRATION
    Dan Brennan's I Remember Concentration site offers a shareware download
CONCENTRATION
    Russ Mason's comprehensive tribute site has a "weekly" rebus puzzle to solve, though it's not updated that frequently
THE DATING GAME
    The designer calls it "Version f.u.n.n.y."  See if you agree.
LINGO
    Lingo downloads are available lots of places, including several of the above sites, and authorized versions at GSN and AOL Games.
THE PRICE IS RIGHT
    Two simple text versions of TPIR, from internet game show veteran Jay Lewis
WHEEL OF FORTUNE
    An older, less sophisticated programming exercise, but how sophisticated is Wheel of Fortune anyway?
