Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

Developer: Jellyvision
Publisher: Disney Interactive
Released: NA November 23, 1999
Genre: Trivia, Casual
Ratings: E (Everyone)

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is a PC game developed by You Don't Know Jack creator Jellyvision and published by Disney Interactive in November 1999. The game is based on the show of the same name, more notably the American version which is produced by ABC's Valleycrest Productions subsidiary. Despite the name, it has no relation to the video game adaptation that was released outside North America in 2000, which was published by Eidos Interactive and has a different developer.

Gameplay
The game plays exactly like the real show. The player answers 15 different questions of increasing difficult, each one having 4 possible answers. If the player gets the question right, they win the Dollar value of the question and move on to the next one, up until they get to the last one, worth a Million Dollars. Any question that the player gets wrong, ends the game and the winnings are reduced to whatever tier the question the question was in. Walking Away also ends the game, but the player keeps the money they already have.

The 3 lifelines - 50/50, Phone-a-Friend and Ask the Audience also appear. 50/50 works how it does on the show by removing 2 wrong answers. Phone-a-Friend rings up a "Friend" who suggests to the player what they think the answer is. Ask the Audience sums up answers from the Audience, which suggest what they think the answer could be. As with the show, each lifeline can only be used once.

If more than one player is playing, the Fastest Finger First round plays before the main game. As with the show, the players are asked a question with four answers which must be placed within a particular order. The player who does this in the quickest time gets to play first.

Regis Philbin, the first host of the American version of the series also appears throughout the game. He assists the player in the game itself (a bit just his voice) as well as in humorous live action full-motion-video clips mainly by taunting the player if they got a question wrong, being sarcastic or by breaking the fourth wall and saying that the whole thing is just a video game and not the real deal.
