Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
This is a recreation of the US version of the hit TV quiz show hosted by Regis Philbin. The game allows for two players to participate in the first stage of the quiz, a first-to-the-buzzer question which decides the single player who will play the main game. The contestant is then asked a series of 15 multiple-choice questions each of which effectively doubles his/her prize money up to one million dollars. The game incorporates several hundred questions. The player is also allowed three forms of 'lifeline'; 50-50 (which removes two incorrect answers from the total of four), ask the audience (recreated with the help of the results of research questionnaires that have been incorporated into the game) and phone a friend. Since phoning a friend is more difficult to recreate Regis himself places a 'call'. The game effectively recreates the music and graphics of the show and the large number of video clips included work well.
