A single show is split into multiple rounds where the families must try and guess how a group of 100 surveyed individuals answered a question such as “Which European city would you most like to visit?” When a person guesses one of the answers correctly, their family receives an amount of points equal to however many people gave that answer on the survey. The Family Feud game show is a competition between two families of five. Perhaps it was because they figured that interactivity could carry the experience that many early game show video games were such thrown together products, and that might be why Family Feud for the NES isn’t quite what you’d hope a home version of the game would be. People already enjoy shouting the answers to the questions for the televised version, all the home game has to do is allow them to actually play the game themselves to be a decent facsimile.
Video game versions of game shows already have a lot of the hard work done for them.
