    I've seen the package at Toys 'R Us in Framingham (Shopper's World).
    They were all sold out though. It was $36.99 I think. Wheel Of Fortune
    was also there for around the same price. I rented "Wheel" a while
    back. It was fun for some time but it looses it when the puzzles
    begin to repeat.

          Finally got through to TRU in Framingham and none in stock.
        Tried the Auburn store and just got the dreaded busy signal.

    We rented Jepordy and enjoyed it.  Have'nt put it on a "must have
    list".   It was to easy to "Buzz In" then read the question.  It
    could get old real quick when the questions repeat.
180.4Jeopardy for oneCINEMX::KIPNESKen 269-2269Fri Mar 03 1989 11:4818

	 I bought Jeopardy.  It's fun.  The questions are easy-to-medium
	 for a 'trivia' person.  The questions/categories repeat a
	 lot; I got the same final jeopardy question three times in a
	 row.  The computer people make mistakes about a third of the
	 time.

	 You NEED to be a good speller for this game!  It's is very
	 unforgiving on this issue.  It will allow for simple mistakes
	 involving misplaced vowels, but does not forgive missing
	 double letters.

				Sergeant was SCHULTZ and not SHULTZ

                 Does anybody know how to make the categories change
    other than reseting the game over and over?

180.7After 20 games, I've seem all the answersVINO::FLEMMINGNo reason, just policyFri Nov 03 1989 21:237
    Read 180.4. The game *is* fun but repeats happen very soon. Also,
    if you can't spell, it can be very frustrating. E.g., you know the
    answer and your opponent doesn't but you don't know how to spell it
    and after you've made your attempt, your opponent now knows. Given
    what I know now, I wouldn't buy the game. If someone knows how to
    decrease repeats, let us know and we will reevaluate.
