Old but fun!
It's great if you like both YDKJ games and sports trivia from 1995 and earlier, but that's pretty niche.
you don't know jack is the best trivia game series of all time. this one is from 1996, so it's pretty outdated by now and it's always been us-centric (and this one is all about sports, obviously), so you'll either find it very challenging or very frustrating if you're from somewhere else. or a piece of cake because you know all the answers.
it's your typical multiple choice deal, but there are a ton of other question types over the series, like dis or dat (or sometimes both) or gibberish question. you can play a game of 7 or 21 questions, some question types only appear in the full run, but they both end with the jack attack. there's a clue and you have to match things accordingly.
local multiplayer is available for up to 3 players, you can even screw each other by buzzing in and forcing another player to answer. save for a few occasions way back when, I've always played it alone and always had a blast.
it's all presented as a tv show (there was an actual short-lived tv show as well, should be on youtube), there's some behind-the-scenes chatter at the beginning, fake commercials at the end (don't you dare skip them!), fake money to win and all that, and the writing is fantastic. if it was a simple text-based thing, it'd still be excellent stuff, so much creativity, but the voiceovers take it to a whole new level. lots of characters, one-off or recurring, great hosts, also one-off or recurring, and again, the whole thing is just great.
the attention to detail and variety elevates it even further. sure, if you play long enough, you'll see repeated questions (though I don't think the game will show them again until you've seen most of them), but there are a lot of different ways to introduce questions, a lot of remarks if you chose the wrong answer or hesitate to enter your name (in which case the host will give you one) or pick a category or answer, a relevant joke for most choices, right or wrong, and of course the commercials, man... the game also starts differently based on the time and date, so on certain holidays, early in the morning, late at night, on friday evening, and so on. and for answers that need typing, you can try some profanities, see what good they do.
there was nothing done to modernize the game for the steam release, so it runs in 640x480 (a very tiny window with a black background, you can set the .exe to run in that resolution or something closer and fill the screen more with the actual game), there's no steam overlay, there's only a single volume setting (it's fine in this case, though lowering it completely didn't let me raise it again until a restart) and controls aren't rebindable. each player gets a buzz hotkey scattered on the keyboard, the screw is the same for everybody, and if you play alone, no need to buzz and space works just fine for that too.
I literally don't know jack and I've been having fun with the series since it first came out, most of it played alone. if you don't mind questions about older stuff (or that's your specialty) and can handle a lower resolution, definitely pick these up.
ball kick go
I only recommend this game to actual sport fans, not me apparently. I struggled with so many questions and only got a grand total of $1,000 in a 21-Question game! Wow, that's the most I've made even though I made 20-30k in Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Movies, TV, Vol. 3, and Offline. I even tried doing it two more times to get a better score, but nope. Nothing, couldn't do it. What makes my thing even more embarrassing is that I'm writing a comic book about a guy who is a training boxer, and yet I knew nothing. Yeah, I... Need help. It's fine though, it's only a game, but still, I need to know more about it I guess. Anyways I hope you sports fans take this game more seriously than I f**king did. And have a great day.
worst volume ever.
If you are already a fan of classic YDKJ, I highly recommend this iteration as well. Of course, you also have to have a good amount of sports knowledge as well. As the game is all about it, but it's still another fun edition in the series even with the outdated questions.
This game is lame. The music, narrator, the questions and, most importantly, the jokes. It's a shame this game is so sub par as the game before it (YDKJ vol. 1 XL) was better in every way.
Very fun trivia game. Fun Questions.
Who knew that Jerry West could not be a member of ABBA if the members of the group were members of the ABA because West was never an ABA player?
That's just one of the thousands of questions in You Don't Know Jack Sports, a sports variant of the show where high culture and pop culture collide!
Get ready for the nostalgia of this game!
As with other games, US-centric and only 800x600. Fine if you're an American sports fan whose knowledge stopped 20 years ago.
This is the first of a few You Don't Know Jack games that tack on a particular theme, which in this case is sports. Once again, the overall style and format is the same as volumes 1 and 2, the only real difference being in content of trivia. Rather than presenting a host of general trivia, the bulk of questions have to do with sports. Comedy is still a good part of this game, but I don't think anyone beyond sports buffs will be able to make any impression on the scoreboard. Overall, I wouldn't suggest buying this on its own. Instead, it would be best to purchase it in the Classic Pack along with eight other YDKJ games. My recommendation here is conditional on that, otherwise I think it would be a poor purchase.

Stick with the most recent releases, trivia games don't age well.
Another Win95 promoware CD-Rom Trivia game I used to play back in the day when I was young.
If you still own the Original CD-ROM, you'll need to use a Windows 95/98 computer to play it or a Virtual Machine.

10/10
I know nothing about sports. I do know You Don't Know Jack. A game where losing is still fun!
Annoying question transitions and mostly off-topic questions that barely have anything to do with sports half the time. Don't get this.
ahh the good ole days of YDKJ!! i feel like im 19 again!
Negatory. NCAA record holder - Jack Taylor. I do know Jack sports.
WHAT IS SPORTS
Same deal with Movies and Television; your enjoyment is gonna come with your knowledge of the base material. Granted, the only sport I know anything about is football, but I still managed to get some questions right.
