Remote Control (USA)

Remote Control (USA) NES is a trivia game based on the popular MTV game show of the same name. The game puts players in the role of contestants participating in a general knowledge competition, set in a student's basement decorated like a TV studio.

Gameplay in Remote Control focuses on answering a wide variety of trivia questions across numerous categories such as music, movies, history, pop culture, and general knowledge. The game is divided into three main rounds:

• Round 1: "The Big Question" - Players select question categories from a virtual TV screen. Each category contains multiple questions with varying difficulty and point values. Correct answers earn points, while incorrect answers can lead to humorous penalties, such as being "slimed" or other unexpected situations.
• Round 2: "The Commercial Break" - This round is not a traditional trivia round but rather a series of mini-games or quick challenges, simulating commercial breaks. These mini-games often require players to use their quick control skills, such as target shooting, rhythmic button pressing, or other reflex-based challenges. The goal is to earn points or an advantage for the next round.
• Round 3: "The Bonus Round" (also known as "The Grand Prize Round") - This is the final round where players have the opportunity to earn the highest score or a grand prize. This round typically has a different format, which could be a rapid-fire question series, a special challenge, or a direct competition between contestants to determine the overall winner.

The ultimate goal for players in Remote Control is to accumulate the highest score after three rounds to become the winner. The game stands out for its fun, humorous atmosphere, and unexpected elements, true to the spirit of the original TV show. Additionally, the hosts and sound/visual effects contribute to a unique entertainment experience for NES players.
