Looks like the show but plays slightly different.
I bought this months before the holdays as a gift put it on a shelf and forgot about it. Oops! Installed it in January for my wife, Yay! (I thought)
The Interface is the Jeopardy set with more than two thirds of the screen devoted to the player lecterns This left a very small part of the screen for question categories. The main board text is small fuzzy and nearly unreadable even with the highest quality settings.
Game play is similar to earlier versions. Except that now it is multiple choice. My wife loves this, everything can be selected quickly with the mouse. It would of been better as an option i think. If you play the computer opponents the count down timers, video animations and audience applause sounds slow the pace.
Award trophies are given for game milestones: Points earned, Hours played, Catagories swept, Number of games played, Etc. There are dozens of them.
You can customise your avatars appearance or quickly skip through and begin playing. nice.
Pros:
Mutliple choice questions.
It will play on nearly any Windows XP PC fast or slow. I'll leave someone else to try it with Linux and WINE.
There are plenty of categories and questions four hours of play abd there weren't any catagories repeated.
You won't need to carry the install CD with you to run it. Perfect for travel or waiting for a class.
Cons:
Multiple choice questions aren't optional.
The main category board doesn't read clearly.
The pace is somewhat slower than earlier versions due to animations and sound effects with multiple computer opponents.
Jeopardy deluxe is an improvement in some ways over earlier versions. My wife loves it. (shrug)

BEWARE!!! Does not run on Vista.
This is the last time I purchased a product from Encore. The game does not run on my computer with Vista!!! The support information on the Encore Support Website is worthless bla bla. I called Encore. They offer no telephone support for Jeopardy. What a ripoff. I recommend that you to STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT and I suggest that you reconsider before buying any product from ENCORE. I think no company should get away with treating their customers like this.

Works fine after you D/L the patch
For those of you that have had crashing troubles with the game, there's a patch available [...]
The game itself? Pretty decent trivia game, multiple choice not the greatest idea... Graphics are quite dated.

disappointed
I purchased this game because I really enjoyed playing the older version of it a few years ago on my parents computer. My daughter and I loved playing that game. This version was very disappointing. There is no Alex Trebek voice over. The count down to answering a question seems shorter too. My daughter thought it was boring so we have only played it once.

Fantastic
I love this game on tv and playing it on my laptop. It is very entertaining.
