Anyone see Jeopardy! the other night?

[Guynemer]

In a category named "I-I-I-I" (all responses containing four "i"s), the answer:

"This Sid Meier computer game of the early '90s challenged players to build an empire to stand the test of time." (or something like that)

And some chick got it!


We've hit the big time, baby!

Cool, do you remember the dollar amount on the question?

[Ming]

This was also brought up in the Civ III General forum....

Cool Is Civ really that well known or was it one of the more difficult questions?

[Frozzy]

It was a $1200 question.

[rah]

I wonder if the person posts here.

[Nikolai]

If so, hopefully he/she visits this part of the forum.

[Dauphin]

I wonder how many people have heard of the Civilization series.

[rah]

I'm sure some of our wives wish we never had.

[Jamski]

Which reminds me, I need to vote for the eponymous poster in the next HoF vote.

Civ is a highbrow game, and should be no big surprise to see them on a high brow gameshow.

You will never see that question on Who wants to be a millionaire. A question on that show will probably involve the game- The Sims and Will Wright.
