Popular games for franchise Hollywood Squares

A handheld electronic game based on the TV Game Show of the same name.

Hollywood Squares is a quiz game based on the television game show Hollywood Squares. Versions were released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, MS-DOS, Commodore 64, and Apple II. The game is based on the 1986-1989 version hosted by John Davidson. The photo of the set is from the 1985 series pilot (the actual show had no gold stars on the studio floor and more elaborate risers for the cars). Players have to either agree or disagree with fictitious celebrities to earn squares and make tic-tac-toe. Much like the TV series, winning one of the first two games is worth $500, the third game is worth $1,000 and the second game is always the "Secret Square" game. The winner then goes on to the bonus round, where they have to choose one of five keys and insert it into the proper car among the five offered.

A console adaptation of the classic game-show tic-tac-toe format where players select celebrity squares, answer humorous survey questions, and try to claim rows to win. Featuring single-player and local multiplayer modes, quick rounds, family-friendly presentation, and motion/controller-friendly inputs that reproduce the show’s comedic banter and bluff-driven strategy.
