The $100,000 Pyramid
DOSQuiz
The $100,000 Pyramid is a DOS quiz and word game developed and published by Sierra On-Line in 1987. It adapts the television game show format in which players identify categories and words from verbal clues, then attempt to complete a pyramid of related answers. The play style is turn-based and conversational rather than action-oriented, with success depending on vocabulary, association, and clear clue giving. Its main appeal is the direct reproduction of a familiar TV contest structure on a home computer. Reception was generally tied to its licensed game-show presentation and was more relevant to fans of the program than to players seeking a conventional action or adventure game.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
