Trivia
- If you throw the game disc into a PC drive to read the table of contents, you can find a funny message. If you open the CATEGORY folder, you see several more folders and a HOLDER.TXT file. If you open the text file, the message reads, “Hello! My name is Tony and this is my category place holder! Please don’t pirate this game.”Likely referring to Antonio Santamaria, the game’s lead programmer.
- There are enough category names to have at least 1 in each of the 26 letters of the alphabet, plus numbers.
- The voiceover guy reads the questions, while Alex Trebek is limited to just category reads and commentary.
- Unlike other game show titles, there are no on-screen avatars. This causes the atmosphere of the game to be somewhat ‘spooky’, as a video panel of Alex Trebek is talking to an empty studio with almost everything in shadow.
- Jeopardy! is shockingly lenient with how questions are typed in. The programmers had to take into account how people would spell the answer out, come up with said variants, and then program them all to be accepted. As an example, if the answer was “PlayStation”, you could essentially type in PlayStation, Play Station, PS1, PSX, Sony PlayStation, or PS, and the game would accept all of them.
- Despite there being wrong answers for most questions in the game data, it’s rare for the CPU contestants to provide them.
