Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 2nd Edition (PS1) - NintendoComplete

A complete playthrough of Sony Computer Entertainment America's 2000 PlayStation TV game show adaptation, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 2nd Edition.
So, where's my check?
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 2nd Edition's title might be confusing in the US - why call it second edition when the 1st edition never appeared anywhere but Europe? But it doesn't matter - for the US, this is the first officially released game based on the US version of the show starring Regis Philbin. It looks surprisingly close to the show, nails the sound design, and provides a nearly perfect facsimile of it. Except for the reward, of course.
If you love trivia, then obviously, you'll love this. If you don't care, well, that will also probably carry through. I enjoyed it, but I wished that the questions tended to be a bit harder. There aren't enough stumpers for my liking.
One question, though. If anyone has any idea, please let me know: why, when "Who wants to be a millionaire" is plainly a question is there no question mark in the title? It drives me nuts! The interrogative marker is not something to be brazenly ignored as if it were some non-shiny object - what is this?!

I miss you Regis already!

[@danalong1237]

0:34-0:57, "Last time on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?: (insert clips of previous episode) Now, join us from New York as we play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Applause) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much! Good evening and welcome to Wednesday night of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Over the past two weeks, we have seen not one, but two contestants miss the first question of the game, one contestant miss the $500,000 Question, three contestants miss the $1,000 and $32,000 questions, one contestant use all three lifelines on the first question, and one contestant get past the $32,000 milestone without using a single lifeline, and that's why he's here with us in the hot seat. Please welcome Matt Cramer from Boston, MA!"-Regis Philbin.

RIP Regis Philbin

[@williamgrantham4481]

Yup 😢😢

[@ronsanford4793]

"You are so right!"

[@thekingscastlepodcast1224]

I always thought it was funny how in the video game Regis was acting so rude and obnoxious on the early questions considering in real life he's a very good host and an even better human being

[@daltonpaulvideos]

The only reason to play these games are for Regis' passive-aggressiveness. I remember playing this with a friend just for his reactions. lol

[@stevenlevesque4270]

This game was developed by the same people who made *YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!*

[@Angie2343]

Same for Alex Trebek, Pat Sajak, Vanna White, Paul Reubens....

[@NintendoComplete]

Much the same reason I play Pebble Beach on the Saturn. Just can't get enough of Craig Stadler's slurred quips.

[@gradymcclintock3766]

@@daltonpaulvideos if you put his name in the name spot his reaction is funny

Who's here after Regis Philbin's death?

[@NintendoComplete]

Want to play a near perfect reproduction of the now incredibly dated but still ludicrously addictive TV game show? Well, Sony's gotcha pretty well covered.

[@NintendoComplete]

Yeah, but I think for a lot of people they'd sick to what's familar, you know? It's based on it, but without Regis a lot of Americans wouldn't see it as the same thing.

[@danalong1237]

There have been five hosts since the U.S. version premiered in 1999: Regis Philbin, Meredith Vieira, Cedric the Entertainer, Terry Crews and currently Chris Harrison.

[@liver6948]

WWTBAM is still going on, you know.

[@plushbatfan]

@NintendoComplete Do you like Elmo?

[@blackphoenix9000]

@Adam Demeter And PAL UK has Chris Tarrant in it. Think there'll be versions of the game with Jeremy Clarkson, now that he's hosting it?

[@deftcoleman0552]

R.I.P. Regis Philbin, who is probably hanging out with Alex Trebek in Heaven.

[@andreapatane4204]

Do you think that they’re hosting quiz shows in a ☁️y place that good people go to when they croak?

[@basilratliff3638]

I just love Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

[@tpmsnewenglandworld6069]

Regis philbin remembers in a motion capture game of who want to be a millionaire.

[@blindsportslover]

I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but I think these games foreshadowed the eventual clock format that would be used on the syndicated version.

[@TakeoverPodcast1]

Syndicated?

[@random-nz7dy]

To me the clock really shows how great a host Regis was. It was so entertaining hearing him go back and forth with contests for a few minutes on a question. I feel like its ok to have a clock for the first 7-8 questions is ok, but towards the end the contestants should have more time, to stew over it.

[@Angie2343]

Regis was amazng!

[@andreapatane4204]

You rock at Who Wants To Be a Millionaire 2nd Edition in 🎮 form. PLEASE upload Who Wants To Be a Millionaire Kids Edition, Sports Edition and 3rd Edition when you get a chance which are reserved for PlayStation. No rush! 👏🏻

[@whispersmusic6173]

Regis for Playstation All Stars

[@belazy4097]

I miss Regis every day, God bless that man and only he could host Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and the best one

[@EqualsPeach]

There was a 1st Edition released for the PC. As far as I'm concerned, the edition numbers are largely based on their question sets; thus the PC, GBC, and PS1 ports of the 2nd Edition have identical question sets.

[@idklol4197]

thank you so much for explaining that. i was wondering if gbc and playstation would have the same questions

[@williamgrantham4481]

I Love Meredith Vieira Too

[@andreapatane4204]

Terry Crews rocked big time, because he had a lot of energy.

[@occono3543]

There's a video game with her in it too.

[@danalong1237]

3:08, "Matt, you just missed the $125,000 Question, but you're leaving with $32,000! Don't spend it all in one place! Awwwww, what a heartbreaker for Matt. Matt had the correct answer locked in, but the lying commoner changed the answer, and that mistake cost him a chance to win $125,000, and that was tragic. Now, back to business. We got ten new contestants from all over the country. Who are they tonight? Let's find out. They are: -Tom Kerrigan from Denver, CO -Nancy Fredholm from Hudson, NH -Josh Thorne from Louisville, KY -Barbara Hoyt from Phoenix, AZ -Kathy Culver from Stamford, CT -Alex Florentine from Chicago, IL -David Monk from Seattle, WA -Jill Rodgers from Dallas, TX -Charlie Dinsmore from Orlando, FL ...and... -Mick Ramone from Queens, NY!

[@danalong1237]

Hey! Watch that god-f******-damn language!

[@PrincessUndertaker]

Nice Job Alex!

[@blindsportslover]

By the time Super Millionaire was out, I wish the later installments of WWTBAM used the newer lifelines like double dip. That would've been great to see. I also think they should've added an option where you could customize the time on the clock for the questions.

[@brettmaki7012]

Did they release a super millionaire game

[@colleenthunderball5315]

Silly Alex forgot to ask the audience!

[@HiddenInTheTruth]

Never noticed it till reading your description but there are Question marks in the logo but none on the question itself...and now it's bugging ME too...

Congrats on winning $1,000,000 nc and you didn't even need to ask the audience lol

[@KTJohnsonkidThunder]

The load times in this version slows the game down. Stick with the PC and Dreamcast versions. Even the GBC version plays smooth, and THAT is a handheld.

[@SJSharkWannabe]
