Technical specs

Editor note

1 player, 2 players, or 3 players.

Game music can be toggled. The text parser is very good at discerning what players type. Players will probably not be penalized for spelling errors. Characters in the game don't just stand there, they react to gameplay. Returning champions get special treatment. "ADAM Bucks" are the in-game currency and you can print your winnings if you like. It's like printing your own money:)

This was a finished product. But, it remained unpublished by Coleco. After the Coleco abandoned the ADAM, pressure by ADAM Users Groups and professional developers convinced them to provide limited support for the users. Jeopardy was given to Walters Software for republishing as part of this support. But under the conditions that Jeopardy trademarks and copyrights be removed. The modifications were made and approved and provided for free and legal download on BBS sites. But, it was eventually discovered that the data provided by Coleco had a block of corrupted data among the answer-questions. When these corrupted entries were randomly selected during play (a rare occurrence), the game would crash. Some users set about restoring the game to original, others tried to fix or replace the corrupted data, others simply hacked the game with their own
