I agree with Philip on having two versions. How about the same programme, but with two difficulties. Easy, and hard. That way you can decide if you want multiple choice or an edit field. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to

Hi Bryan, FYI, I believe Rescue 911 was from the early 90;s not the 80's. However, your point is valid. Certain game shows and documentaries would not be the same without the original host. Jeopardy definitely would not be the same without Alex. On 5/26/2012 12:28 PM,

Hi Thomas, You make a very good point about spelling the answers in a Jeopardy game. And the multiple choice doesn't seem to be a real good solution either. My other problem with making a Jeopardy game is that I do not own a data base of questions and answers. That is what has been nice
