Overview and Gameplay
Contestants choose clues from six-category boards, buzz in, and type the matching response in this NES adaptation of the television quiz show. A match progresses through Jeopardy!, Double Jeopardy!, and Final Jeopardy. Correct responses add the clue value, while mistakes subtract it.
Daily Doubles allow the contestant who finds one to make a private wager. Players with positive scores after Double Jeopardy can wager again on the final clue, and the highest remaining total wins.
Controls And Mechanics
- Directions move between categories, clue values, menus, and characters on the response grid. They also serve as buzz-in inputs during multiplayer.

- One to three human contestants can compete, with computer-controlled opponents filling unused positions. Three-player games share two controllers.
