How it plays
Players choose clues from a board divided into categories and dollar values. A clue is revealed, and the contestant attempts to enter the correct response in question form. Correct answers add the clue value, while incorrect responses can reduce a player's score.
The game follows Jeopardy!, Double Jeopardy!, and Final Jeopardy! conventions, including Daily Doubles and wagers. Progression is determined by accumulated money rather than character upgrades. The main focus is selecting advantageous clues, answering quickly and accurately, and managing risk during wagering rounds.

Super Jeopardy! is a DOS quiz game based on the long-running Jeopardy! television program. Published by GameTek in 1991, it presents the show's answer-and-question format through a computer interface rather than an action-oriented game system. Players select clues from category boards, supply responses in the form of questions, and manage wagers in the Daily Double and Final Jeopardy! rounds. The game is designed for local play, with contestants competing over several rounds of general-knowledge clues. Its appeal comes from reproducing the familiar television structure and testing broad trivia knowledge. Reception was generally shaped by the limitations of computerized quiz databases and presentation, but it remains a notable licensed DOS adaptation.
