- Are you ready to prove just how smart you really are? Is that your final answer? (Okay, okay, we just couldn’t resist!)

Variants
The original shown above was released with a sweepstakes piece attached to the front of the actual jewel case, beneath the shrinkwrap. The back of the manual calls it out. The playpiece contained a number the consumer would need to enter in at Sony’s designated site. The back of the manual (not pictured) showed the Sweepstakes and the points about it.
When the contest was over, Sony reprinted the game without the Sweepstakes Sticker. Confirmed by sealed copies, opening it revealed that Sony forgot to remove the Sweepstakes information from the back of the manual.
Jewel Case Release – No Sticker, Same back of Manual
Upon realizing their mistake, Sony reprinted the game a third time, this time finally replacing the back of the manual with a generic artwork of Regis. This would eventually become the Greatest Hits.
Jewel Case Release – Corrected Manual
Also released as a Greatest Hits, with the back of the manual now changed to a generic image.

Trivia
You can’t fool Regis with these unique ‘Easter Eggs’.
- The game proudly boasts that there are 600 questions featured. The problem being if you were to answer all 600 correctly – with 15 questions per ‘show’ you would only have to play the game 40 times to see all the questions.
- Obviously, and very clearly fake money is being thrown around by Regis on the cover.
- The game’s question randomizer doesn’t seem to work real well. I played the game for a few minutes and the first 5 questions were all choice Square (3rd option). Then I reset the machine, and the first question was the 2nd question from the match before.
