01.) INTRODUCTION G0100
===============================================================================
Welcome to Who Wants to be a Millionaire? for the GameBoy Color, a trivia game
by THQ released in 2000.
This guide contains all questions the game has to offer, as well as the answers
to them. I figured if you are checking the guide you want the answers as well
and not just the questions.
To find a question, simply use your browser's/text viewer's search function.
This game is based on the American version of the show, as well as featuring
US-based questions (e.g. baseball, states, presidents) they also use American-
English spelling. I mention this because there are so many different games
based on the show and some are from the UK and some from the US television
version.
If you spot any errors or have suggestions please feel free to e-mail me about
it. Enjoy!
===============================================================================
02.) BASICS G0200
===============================================================================
At the main screen you can either choose to play single player or multiplayer.
Select the music and effect at the bottom and press A to switch them on or off.
Multiplayer simply takes up to four people into a round of "Fastest Finger"
where you have to select the correct order in the fastest time possible. The
screen will cycle through possible answers and as soon as the correct order
appears, press the A-button to confirm. Instead of adding an extra player you
can press SELECT to skip to the result screen. Once all candidates have
answered the screen will show the correct answer, then the player's reaction
time as well as who had the correct order. The winner, i.e. correct order and
fastest time, will play the normal game.
Single player takes you through 15 questions of 'Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire?", the popular TV game show. With each questions answered correctly
the money will "double" up. The first question yields $100, the next $200,
$300, $500, $1,000 and so on, up to the grand price of $1,000,000. Questions 5
and 10 are save heavens, meaning that if you get a question wrong above these
you will only drop to the money level there instead of ending up with nothing.
As you are playing the game and not for real money, I would advise you just
keep on playing instead of aiming for going home with at least some kind of
amount of money. As Regis says, it's only virtual money.
You have 30 seconds to answer a question. When the time is up, you lose. Select
an answer with the D-pad and press A to confirm. Sometimes Regis will ask if
that is your final answer, at which point the time stops for a while and you
can choose A for yes and B for no. If you do not answer within 15 seconds the
timer will start up again.
There are three lifelines to help you. Press SELECT and choose them with the A-
button. Press SELECT again to return without using one. 50-50 subtracts two
wrong answers to aid in your process of elimination. Call a friend gives advise
by a caller, who might or might not know the answer. Ask the audience shows a
poll result of how many percent of people in the virtual audience think what
the answer is. You can use as many lifelines for a question, but you only get
one of each lifeline per game.
During the game, press START to pause the game. You will obviously not get to
see the question and answers during this time, but could still remember the it
quickly and run to get a dictionary, ask a friend, check this guide, etc.
Note that some questions may be out of date at the time you are playing. Also
some questions in the guide may have mistakes, if you find one, you could drop
me a line and I will correct it.
===============================================================================
03.) QUESTIONS & ANSWERS G0300
