Abandonware DOS title

The best based on a TV game show games

American and other game shows have often been adapted into video games in the past, especially during the DOS era. Family Feud, Jeopardy!, and Wheel of Fortune are just a few of the quiz shows converted for PC, sometimes successfully, other times not. On other occasions, in the absence of official licenses, developers created entirely original game shows as the basis for their games (Lexi-Cross and others).
