Description

"Hollywood Squares" is a video game adaptation of the classic American TV game show of the same name, designed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Released in 1989, the game was developed by Rare and published by GameTek, which specialized in game show conversions for home consoles. In this game, players attempt to complete a row of squares either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally by correctly agreeing or disagreeing with the answers given by celebrity impersonators occupying each square. The game mimics the humor and style of the television show, incorporating popular elements such as the celebrities' humorous bluffs and the strategic selection of squares.

Gameplay in "Hollywood Squares" involves a simple interface where players select which square they want to challenge by navigating a grid that represents the game’s tic-tac-toe board. The game can be played either against the computer or with another human player, which adds a competitive element. Each celebrity in the squares provides an answer to a trivia question, and the player must decide whether the given answer is correct or just a bluff. Correct guesses capture the square for the player, and incorrect ones award the square to the opponent. The game’s appeal lies in its mix of strategy, trivia knowledge, and the unpredictable humor derived from the celebrity squares, making it a fun and engaging title for fans of the show or those who enjoy quiz-based games.
