If you thought the closest you'd get to being a game show contestant was shouting at your television, I've got a treat for you. Now you can play your favorite television game shows from the comfort of your home computer. Have fun, but don't hog that seat! Remember to give everyone in the family a chance.
Family Feud Online
http://www.uproar.com/games/cat_gameshows.asp
"Name something dogs are afraid of." Thirty-seven people out of a hundred answered "Thunder," making it the number one response. I should have known this! Our dog Kia (now in doggie heaven) went completely ballistic over thunder. For some reason, however, the only thing that came to mind was the number three answer "Cats." Kia loved cats, but my mind just went blank and it was the best I could come up with. You must be eighteen to register (so kids can only play with their parents) and some families might object to the casino ads that run between games.
Jeopardy Online
http://www.sonypictures.com/games/jeopardy/
"Odds & Ends" for $300. The answer is "To speak this language, transpose the first consonant of each word to the end and add 'ay'." And the question is "What is Pig Latin?" In addition to the free game (that does not require registration) you can download a sixty-minute free trial of Jeopardy Deluxe or buy a version for your mobile phone. There is also a link to the main official Jeopardy site, where you can learn about being a contestant, watch Clue Crew video clips, and find out about local Jeopardy Brain Bus events.
Weakest Link
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weakestlink/game/
This is the British version of the game, so you will be playing in pound sterling, not dollars. Since the winnings are all virtual anyway, I can't see that it matters much. "Your aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your one thousand pound target within the time limit. The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers. Get your question wrong and you break the chain, and lose all the money in that chain."
