How it plays
The game presents a television screen and a remote-control interface rather than an action-game viewpoint. Players choose from available channels or categories, then respond to trivia questions before the round advances.
The objective is to accumulate more points by answering correctly. Progression follows quiz-show rounds and scoring instead of character upgrades or exploration. The experience is primarily a solo adaptation of a televised contest, with the player managing selections and answers.
Plan your run
Choose categories you know well instead of selecting at random. Read each question carefully, answer promptly, and avoid spending turns on uncertain categories when a stronger option is available.
Because progression is score-based, consistent correct answers are more valuable than risky guesses. Keep track of categories that have already appeared so you can make better selections later in the round.

Remote Control is a trivia game for the Nintendo Entertainment System based on the MTV game show of the same name. It was developed and published by Hi-Tech Expressions and adapts the show’s living-room television premise into a single-player quiz format. The player takes the role of a contestant, selects channels and categories with the on-screen remote, and answers questions to build a score. Its appeal comes from quick question selection and its pop-culture presentation rather than action gameplay. Reception was mixed: the licensed concept was recognizable, but reviewers commonly found the question material and simple presentation less compelling than the television program.
