Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

"Who wants a coaster?"

''Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'' was produced by guys who have to use a lifeline if they're asked their own names. Any idea of solid entertainment or skill are forgone and are replaced with the same pointless stuff that is found on the regular show. Here's some of what you will find:

- Moronic Questions
Example: Do Vegetarians eat animal crackers?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Yes
D. Pokemon be butt-dummy

- Ridiculous Questions
Example: What would Gary Condit do for a Klondike Bar?

- Regis ''Full Frontal Nudity'' Philbin
This guy deserves to be beaten in public.

- Lines that get old fast

- Regis Philbin
He deserved to be mentioned twice.

If nothing else makes you realize that this is a terrible game, than this will - THEY GAVE AWAY THE FULL VERSION OF IT FOR FREE IN CEREAL BOXES! How many other games can say that? I'm 100% serious, that's how I even found out about the game. I'd have rather gotten a used condom than this game in my cereal box.

Gameplay: I'm going to skip this since virtually everybody knows how the game is played.

Graphics: 2/10 - You'll want to sit in an electric chair rather than the hot seat once the game gets underway. All you see is a couple of crappy shots of Regis, and you'll soon phone a friend to ask them why Regis looks like a child molester.

Audio: 1/10 - I wouldn't have given it such a low rating except for the fact that Regis' voice gets EXTREMELY irritating even during the first time you play it. You'll turn down the volume faster than the real show became stale and unpopular.

Replay Value? - The game came from a cereal box, does that answer your question? You'll worry each time you buy a brand new box of cereal about what you may find in there after playing the game. The worst part is that questions are repeated, meaning that eventually, it is very easy to reach the million dollars. Apparently the Commodore 64 they programmed this game on went dead before they actually finished it.

Final Thoughts: The developers obviously did not have high hopes for this game, as can be documented by the fact that the gave away the full version inside boxes of Cheerios. Luckily, the show's 15 minute fame ended before most people opened up their cereal box.
