You Don't Know Jack, You don't Hear Jack, Acrophobia, you certainly made the net a better place.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but this Berzerk is great:

One of my early favorites

 

[Teknopathetic]

Bezerk, not Berzerk.

I'm pretty sure Jellyvision did the You Don't Know Jack games. Who the hell are these Bezerk people? Is this an attempt to create the most obscure "appreciation" thread ever?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Bezerk was the website Jellyvision had said games on.

OH! I totally forgot about those "You don't know Jack" games. I never played them though! Because I really don't know jack. So I lose at all trivia games ever. So I play Berzerk instead because I get to shoot evil robots, which I do know all about.

Funny, when I first saw the title of the thread, I thought someone had misspelled the name of the classic video game Berzerk from Stern Electronics.

Say, what happened to the You Don't Know Jack series, anyway? Those games were very popular several years ago. But, I haven't seen them in stores for the last few years. Did they stop making them?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Short answer: Yup. Several years ago.

Acrophobia was fun, I still play it on Uproar.

Laggy as sh*t though.

They had a good run, but I gotta imagine it's rough making party games for PC. Who wants to curl up next to a 17" monitor and share a keyboard with 3 friends? I've done it before and it was tons of fun but I imagine most people found it too hard to set up everything for a good game. Playing a trivia game online really isn't as fun as doing it with people in the same room. The PSX version of You Don't Know Jack was cool....perhaps in today's wider console market they could have flourished, but instead they were pretty much limited to PSX thanks to the Saturn's death and the low storage space on the N64.
