One of the PC games from the mid-'90s that I have the fondest memories of is You Don't Know Jack, a great raucously fun game that really set the bar for hot-seat trivia action. Today I'm thrilled to report that You Don't Know Jack rides again, in the form of the Daily DisOrDat. It's a web-based Flash game with a new trivia challenge every day. The format will be familiar to anyone who played the original series, but in case you haven't, it goes like this: You're presented with a series of items and for each one you have to press 1 or 2 depending on which category it belongs in. For example, today's challenge is to differentiate between foreign names for Santa and foreign beers. It's a fast-paced game in which you have to make seven selections in 30 seconds, which I guess doesn't make it much of a time-waster, but it's still great fun.You Don't Know Jack Daily DisOrDat - Today's Time Waster

I LOVED YDKJ. I wish they were still making them, they were great holiday gifts back in the day. I'll definitely be tracking this back later tonight. Keep up the great work!
