Buzz! The Mega Quiz Bundle with 4 Controllers (PS2)

Product Information

Why all the interest in this older Trivia game? YDKJ only has text on the screen, certainly no match graphically compared to other games. What makes YDKJ special are the sound bites, intro music to each question and snappy Game Host. This is really one of the best Trivia games, the music clips draw you into each round. Pause at entering your name and get insulted for being dumb. Hit a key to bypass the opening instructions and you can hear the host razzing off to get the show started because someone is in a real hurry. Even a correct answer will at times get a snide comical remark from the host, this game is just hilarious! Get the earlier editions where the focus is on the questions, not the silly character animation interrupting a round. As in the YDKJ series, another enjoyable Party style game, especially great for drawing in the non video game player. Offloader – Each player can receive bonus points for guessing which of the other participants answered correctly on the current question. Relentless released 12 presumably Sony-commissioned Buzz! games for PS3 - including the Junior titles. That's hardly destitution. "We did well on PS2," admitted Eades. "We also did well on PS3, frankly." I'm not going to say that," laughed Eades. "I'm not going to accuse Sony of anything. Things we wanted to happen didn't happen, and that's not Sony's fault, that's not Relentless' fault. A lot of it is down to market conditions.

The market changed. We haven't changed; we've always made the kind of games that we're going to continue making - that's for sure. The people we make games for don't own PS3s that much. Once in a while Regis will ask "Are You Sure?" to a question. I assigned the Y for Yes to the Red Buzzer and the top Blue button. The N for No is assigned to the bottom Yellow button. Since only the Y and N are polled, it does not matter if other keys such as the Lifeline or A answer are pressed in the Buzz buttons. Seemed like a natural layout with the Yes on top with the Red light along with the first answer button. The No at the very bottom follows the layout as a change one's mind to a question. An input is needed to ignore the question. I have an older Laptop with a SVideo output, perfect for easy connection to my HD CRT and most older TVs. The PS2 USB wired Buzz controller is inexpensive and readily available at Gamestop. The wireless version costs more but also can be made to work. Wired has the advantage of better chances of compatibility, but a tradeoff of the wire tangled octopus. Wireless saves the tangles, but may not work on some PCs. It also has the disadvantage of using eight AA batteries, a huge consumption.

A PlayStation 3 game is an expensive thing to make," he went on, "and I don't think it makes much sense to spend that much money to make a game for such a small demographic. That's not Sony's fault, not our fault - that's the way the market is."

If you don't have 100 million consoles [as PS2 did when Buzz! first arrived], you don't have a broad-enough demographic to want our kind of game. Of course the idea was to bring the broad games straight to PlayStation 3 in the launch window, to try and attract that demographic. Buzz Stop – Conceptually the same as Snap, but players have to press the buzz button when theirs are lit. Whoever presses the buzz button correctly gets the chance to answer the given question or pass it to another player. The PC versions of YDKJ games use a keyboard for buzzing in and entering answers. JoytoKey can be used to detect the Buzz buttons. Plug in the Buzz USB cord or wireless Buzz receiver. JoytoKeys will show 32 buttons detected, but only the first 20 buttons are used. The program will convert the USB controller buttons and emulate them to work as the keyboard. When programming the four select buttons of a Buzz controller, keep in mind they range one thru four from the bottom to the top. Since only a maximum of three players are used in the game, the fourth Buzz unit can be utilized as the menu or select buttons if desired.For Relentless Software, the book has all but closed on Buzz! - a quiz series voiced by Jason Donovan and recognised by its bespoke four-button controllers.

Following this thought, I assigned the other lifeline calls placed after an answer button. The B answer button is also followed by the P phone for help button. Likewise the 50/50 with 5 selection is after the C answer button. The Lifeline options are read from right to left, reverse of the normal left to right since the A button is both the first answer and audience poll call. a b c Orry, Tom (October 23, 2006). "Buzz!
