Classic US Video Game Recreation

It wasn't just "Regis" - also "Regis Philbin", "Philbin", "Phil Bin", "John Carpenter", "Dan Blonsky", and "Joe Trela". Also, failing to type in a name in a timely enough period for Regis's tastes would earn you a different one: "Kathie Lee", "Cody", or "Gelman". 


This game did indeed bring back many memories for me as well. It was a well-made game. I thought it was years ahead of its time in terms of musical accuracy. That might just be because it was made by Buena Vista among others, but in all my years of Millionaire-ing, I have found no other game that duplicates the music used in the show so accurately. To think this game was made in '99!

It was actually made by Jellyvision, nowadays known as Jackbox Games. They're also creators of the YOU DON'T KNOW JACK franchise and the amazing and numerous Jackbox Party Packs. They're trivia fans, and always put a lot of love and attention to detail into their products.

Messing with player names is one of their trademark features; they did it in pretty much all the YDKJ games (if you named yourself after a swear word, for instance).

Jellyvision being among the others. I factchecked just to be sure I wasn't mistaken: see this video link. youtu.be/uBMVWInh1pw?t=41s

That being said, it would make sense for Jellyvision, not Buena Vista, to be the ones responsible for the quality of this particular PC game...
