'You Don't Know Jack' Is Back

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 7:50 AM

It's a simple equation: If you played PC quiz game You Don't Know Jack, you love PC quiz game You Don't Know Jack, so brace yourself, fool: You Don't Know Jack is coming back! Jellyvision Games, the people behind Jack, are gearing up for a triumphant return to game development:

"Finally, there's a big market again for high-end games that doesn't require players to blast everything in sight with a rail gun," said Harry Gottlieb, founder and CEO of Jellyvision and the creator of You Don't Know Jack. "We're setting sail on a new and far more ambitious course in the sea of interactive games. We feel very lucky to have Mike Bilder [formerly of Midway Games] at the helm. And by 'helm' I actually mean 'desk.' We're not really on a ship -- just a regular company... in a building and everything."

"Whether you're on the same couch with your friends or playing others over a network, we're going to combine the social dynamics created by great board games, with the thrill and story arc of great television game shows," said Gottlieb. "Of course, if the games do poorly in focus testing, we'll just add guns and nudity."

We'll let you know the details when they arrive.

That is AWESOME! I haven't play You Don't Know Jack for a long time! I always love typing "f--- you" on gibberish questions. It pisses off people like Cookie and Old Man and it's really funny.

I'm sold. Just release the old game with new questions and random crap to say. Bigger and better is just as good really.

IT's BRANIGGAR and THE HAWK!...
The best part of You Don't Know Jack was the extra audio on the game CD's. Love it! should be great.

I just had a big helping of UBERNOSTRUM when I heard this news. Awesome stuff! Maybe the rumors are true and it'll find its way onto the Wii.

This is the best gaming news I've heard in at least a month. I haven't played a Jack game in years but I can't wait to get my hands on some more. Glad someone out there realizes there's still a market for good comedy and trivia games.

You guys should check out their website youdontknowjack dot com, you can actually play webisodes of You Don't Know Jack games, but sadly missing multiplayer. A good way to get your dose of YDKJ until we get a new game :D

I was lucky enough to play JACK with none other than SJohnson of G4TV.
