Don’t overlook this lost gem! It’s a tasty morsel of trivia that we found under the couch back in the early 2000s, and now we’re pulling it right back out from under that same, dust-mite filled couch!

if you use windows 10 this will not work for you (i found out the hard way)
some people have said that it works on older versions of windows (probably on a virtual machine)
and that sucks because this is the best looking jack game to me (from the classics) and i really wanted to play it.
so unless your one of the like...
This is by far the weakest game in the series: weaker jokes, a limit of seven questions in a game, a weird pirate theme going on that doesn't really work, and an unskippable intro along with weaker voice work. That said, the questions are still clever and there is a certain amount of true entertainment always inherent in the series.
This is the first YDKJ game that I regret playing. Not just buying, but playing. It didn't cost me much, since I got it on a sale, and it doesn't take up a whole lotta space on my hard drive (though I'll be uninstalling it shortly), but... wow. This would have been bad by 1995 standards. Every You Don't Know Jack Game is better than this, including...
YDKJv6 is the worst of the JACKs by far. Tinny sound, ugly art direction, limit of 7 questions in a game, moronic pirate theme, and painfully unfunny. Not even worth installing if you bought the JACK pack.
UNPLAYABLE COPY:
Got this on a bundle with the other YDKJ classic game set, it played well enough, despite the tinny soundtrack, then somehow, when I tried to boot it up, it chocked immediately. Too much memory to play it or it got corrupted idk. did this happen to anyone else?
