I was a huge fan of this game. I originally played the original version on my Power Macintosh 6100 back around 1995 (or was it '96?). Anyway, a new updated version was recently released for the 3 major console platforms and the PC.
I picked up the XBOX 360 version, and although nostalgia may be coloring my opinion of the game, I think it's great fun! Last Friday we and a bunch of people over (for a birthday party) and we had a YDKJ tourney. The format is the same as the classic games, except there is no "gibberish questions" since people tend not to have keyboards on console controllers. My only complaint is that because of the question weightings, round 1 doesn't matter much at all since the Jack Attack in round 3 dishes out so much money (or takes it away) that whatever happened in round 1 seems like ... a rounding error.
Recommended. Unless of course you hate pop-culture trivia games.
