You Don't Know Jack 5th Dementia - PC

YDKJ Dementia is the best game of all time. Unlike YDKJ mock 2 on playstation, YDKJ has the same Mock 2 questions, but the different things may apply. The Bug Out questions made me better, the gibberish questions made me smarter, and the Anagram question made me blow up. Before each question, any value between $250 and $10,000 is the value of the question, and Schmitty, he's funnier than Cookie. YDKJ Rocks!

I love the game YDKJ but this CD ROM requires a previous version of Windows and it will not work with Windows 7. I have not been able to get it to work on my computer, so I put the CD in a drawer and haven't thought about it since. But in general, the YDKJ games are fun and entertaining.

I remember playing this game long ago at someone's house, so I got this gift for my sister and brother-in-law one Christmas, thinking they might like it. I apparently was completely off-base, as I learned about 7-8 months later that they never even opened the box. So, they gave it back to me, and I opened it, tried to run it, and the game would barely even install, much less run. I eventually got it to at least start on an old computer at college, but it apparently saves progress in a file that the computer wiped every time it restarted. So, though what I saw of it was fun, it never could recognize that it wasn't my first time playing and give me different clues, and I never found another computer that could run it.This game was released in the year 2000. As I write this, it's the year 2013. If you have Windows 8, 7, or Vista, forget about it. I can guarantee the game will never run on your computer. If you have Windows XP, you might eventually get it to work with a lot of trouble.Basically, what I'm saying is that unless you have a computer from around the year 2000, forget about this game. I doubt even a muti-boot operating system would let you play this these days, as the game is so finicky it needs a computer that's just so for it to even start.

It seems that every time Jellyvision releases a new JACK game, there are fewer questions, and therefore less gameplay.Jack 5 has 600 questions -- while Jack 4: The Ride had 800 questions. I recall the first Jack having 1000 questions and an expansion pack.So why the decrease in questions? Likely to clear up disk space for additional features like online play (nearly a pointless exercise given the number of people out there who enjoy cheating), better graphics and animations, new question types, and theme episodes.And of course, Schmitty's back as host, so the game can't be all bad.But still -- the previous edition of Jack had 33% more questions and came on 2 CDs for the same price. What gives, Sierra? Yes, I'll keep buying Jack games even if there are only a couple of hundred questions in each box -- and maybe that's the problem.I, like many trivia fans, enjoy the irreverent humour and off-colour questions in the Jack games -- and make no mistake, there's a good chance you will be offended by this game at some point -- and even with the perception of lower value, I'll still buy these games.However, if you are new to the Jack series, I would recommend JACK XXXL -- 2400 questions for the same price. And any game you haven't played before is a new game, right?

YDKJ the Fifth Dementia...not too bad a game, but it will not work on many computers. Due to the design of the game's engine, you've either got to have a really old PC like my old-as-dirt Win98 desktop or use a virtual machine like I do on my Win7 64bit laptop. Anyway, to the game. It doesn't quite match the brilliance of the earlier games (looking at volumes 1 and 4 for shining examples here) or the 2011 game, but 5th Dementia is a worthy buy for any Jack lover. Sadly, the online feature of the game has been rendered useless, as Flipside.com, the hosting service the game used for the online matches has long since disappeared from the interwebs. The host for this volume is Schmitty, and he's not exactly the best host of the franchise(it's a three-way tie among Nate, Cookie and Guy for me), but he seems to have mellowed to a degree after his rather rage-filled performance in YDKJ TV. The Bug Out questions are a worthy addition to the franchise, but I'll be danged if those anagram questions aren't hard! All in all, 5th Dementia is an OK game, but not exactly the game you want to use to introduce the franchise to others.

Well... the YDKJ just keeps getting better. Not only have the graphics and sound improved, the online play of this game truly will blow you away.The online play is really easy with great chat options. The game will pair you up instantly with another player and you play a full 15 question game.I recommend this game to anyone who loves crazy trivia games and the YDKJ series. If you only own one trivia game, let this be the one...

This CD game can only run with a game server that is no longer on-line nor even in business anymore. It would have been nice to know this before making this purchase. The game WILL NOT RUN!!!!! DO NOT PURCHASE IT!!!!! Too bad. It was a great game.

Again people should not be able to sell out of date games that can not be run by today's systems.
