I'm not sure who can add the game cover art, but it would be nice to have.

Here are 3 options I found: https://imgur.com/a/Jkfv55I

I believe SNES Jeopardy is from 1992, while Game Boy Jeopardy is from 1991 and NES Jeopardy is from 1988, all by GameTek. So the "earlier versions" they mention could be the Game Boy or NES versions?

@Aegis29 Thank you so much for the tips! I am committed to playing on original GameBoy haha, I like the feel and I've been practicing on it. I can also practice anytime on the go :) and you gotta love that midi sound coming from those 30 year old GameBoy speakers, heh. Comfort-wise I'm wondering if I can find some sort of clamp on a bendy arm to hold the phone, or something like that, that I can just set up behind me. Something like: https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Licheers-Gooseneck-Rotating-Universal/dp/B075ZN7THV/

Aw darn, my 130th place Game Boy run with no video evidence was eliminated, heh. I need to figure out how to record it with my iPhone so I can regain my glory!

I'm currently 166th and I doubt I'll ever be top 10 so my opinion probably isn't worth much, but I think this rule would be unfortunate for people like me who aren't really a part of the "speedrunning community," I don't stream and I barely ever even record myself, but I just enjoy trying to beat Kirby's Dream Land as fast as I can. If I happened to put a lot of work in and got a really good time recorded, but I was denied because it wasn't livestreamed, that just seems wrong.

True, except not Final Jeopardy. I think it's either 0:45 with 1 contestant (I have yet to witness this), 1:05 with 2 contestants (confirmed), and 1:25 with 3 contestants (confirmed), no matter what.

Just discovered, if a player has less than or equal to $0 going into Final Jeopardy, they don't participate. The time is then 1:05, saving 20 seconds. The eventual WR probably needs that to happen to be a really solid time. I'd imagine you would save another 20 seconds if only 1 player did Final Jeopardy, but that's likely extremely improbable.

If there is a tie, they have to answer a tie-breaker question, adding time and probably ruining the run. That would be horrible luck.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Final Jeopardy automatically takes the CPU 1:25 to complete. This makes sense since there don't appear to be any variables in Final Jeopardy, everyone just enters their answers, you find out if they're right, and the winner is declared. So if you're shooting for a record or best time you can figure out what you're going to get at the end of Double Jeopardy and save yourself a minute and a half.

Another thought, what would happen if there was a tie?
