Back in 1995, there had never been a hip computer game. Sure, there were good video games, but never a game you would bring a girl over to your house to play, unless she was Uber Geek Goddess or was really pervy and the game was Leisure Suit Larry.

You Don’t Know Jack, a Mac/PC hybrid game (God bless), was funny, fast-moving and pop-knowledgeable. It’s where where the whole culture was going, we just didn’t know it yet. It had funny jokes, smart categories (”Dis or Dat,” “Gibberish Questions”), a pulse-quickening “Jack Attack” final round and a host who was snarky, but not annoying.

Such a game seemed like it came from a future, a future where we got to hang out with cool college dudes who worked at the indie music store, and where our intricate knowledge of episode details of The Flintstones was a form of currency. Even the name of the developer was cool: Jellyvision. Jellyvision! Rock on!

There were also the “Q” “B” and “P” stickers, colorful affairs you put on your keyboard to signify buzzers for up to three players. When you went to someone’s house (or visited their office) and saw those stickers, you knew, right then and there, that it was on. Jack Attack!

This was, of course, before frat dudes and rich douchebags would make gaming ubiquitous simply by buying a pricey game console and a leather couch. Back then, anything that made gaming seem even a tiny bit cool was like finding a diamond at the bottom of your Happy Meal.

Sure, a million sequels and ports would water down YDKJ’s cachet, but the original game still stands proud, like a-aging hipster who keeps getting older while the hot high school girls stay the same age.
