BMC: Back in the mid-90’s, when trivia games were pretty mundane because of their presentation, limited questions and lack of “special” features, only one series truly knew how to stick out – Jellyvision’s You Don’t Know Jack. Originally conceived for the PC in the mid-90’s, YDKJ managed to rise above the standard, thanks to guys who actually gave a damn about their content, rather than churning out just another generic Q & A session. People like variety and having fun, and this team seemed to figure out how to make it work on a video game.
