Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
The game presents quiz rounds from the perspective of a game-show participant. Players work through category-based clue rounds, attempting to identify answers supplied by a partner or to provide clues that lead to the displayed answers.
Progression follows the television format and leads toward a pyramid-style final round. Completing categories and solving more answers improves the contestant's position, while the final challenge tests speed, recall, and word association rather than reflexes.

The game is best suited to two people who can communicate quickly.
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.
