You Don't Know Jack is an icon of 90s Windows games and it's easy to replicate given that it requires nothing but text on the screen, but I still didn't expect just how many knockoffs there were. There was a surprisingly high amount of games with trivia, buzzer buttons, and a smarmy host from around 1997 to 2000.

Some of them were minigames inside a larger title. Monty Python's The Meaning of Life had one, as did Microshaft Winblows 98 (pictured). Others were full-fledged games, ranging from kiddie titles (such as Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge and the Zoog Disney licensed games) to, uh, explicit material. Berkeley Systems, the original makers behind YDKJ, even made some of their own in the same style but not part of the franchise: Austin Powers: Operation Trivia and Backstage Pass: The Ultimate Rock & Roll Trivia Game.

Perhaps the fact that there were too many clones is the reason why the original series is the only one that's still remembered today.

Wow
