Encyclopedia > Family Feud (video game)

Family Feud is the classic NES game, that was published by GameTek in 1990. Much like the actual show, family contestants must answer survey questions in order to win the game. The family with the highest score wins the game. The host of this version of Family Feud is a Richard Dawson-type person (though the actual host around this time was Ray Combs) and he actually kisses the women and gives the men handshakes during the course of the game. Because this game was published in 1990, the Bullseye round, as performed on the Combs version beginning two years later, is not seen. “NES” redirects here. ...

GameTek later published Feud for the SNES in 1993, for the 3DO in 1994, and on a CD-ROM in 1995. All three include the Bullseye round, yet the 1993 version features a host who greatly resembles Ray Combs (though Combs himself was not involved in any games). The 1994 and 1995 editions features a host who resembles Dawson (Dawson did return to the show in 1994, yet this is based on the 1992-1994 edition hosted by Combs), and has better graphics than the previous 1993 edition.

Around 1998, Family Feud was rereleased for the IBM PC by Hasbro Interactive. Instead of Richard Dawson, the former host Louie Anderson is the host of the game. The game focuses on reliving the same aspect of the game show, in order to provide a better experience. The game also features the ability to upload portraits of one's face, and placed in a three-dimensional animated body. This brought the whole experience closer, and it is often considered to be a good feature of the game.

I'm not entirely sure where the humour that the game's case implies is, but it's certainly nowhere that I've seen in the game.
This game is excruciatingly difficult to play, not because the AI is all that hot (it's not), but because Family Feud is patently un-fun.
The core mechanics of the game are true to the gameshow, but that doesn't mean that they're particularly entertaining.
