Double Dare is the computer version of the game show originally hosted by Marc Summers. Like the TV show, the game is basically a trivia game with the added enhancement of being able to answer the question, or take a dare. Dares consist of the Toss-up Challenge, the Physical Challenge, and in the last round, the Obstacle Course. Questions are varied, and in large enough number to avoid excessive repetition even over several games worth of play.

Dude, Double Dare is the worst NES game to play if you actually want to win. Those minigames are IMPOSSIBLE, and the questions aren't much better. The physical challenge course is sorta fun at least, but honestly, this game is rough.

Thirty-third GOTW finished for 2023. Mashing the D-Pad back and forth as a way to run forward is bad, as is using a combination of two different directions on the D-Pad and the A button to determine angle and speed. Actually, the controls as a whole were pretty terrible. Trivia was as serviceable as it can be for a video game based on an old game show. Not one I would recommend.

RUN.

SORRY.

i really hate gametek's lazy ass "mash the dpad back and forth" formula, but the actual trivia part of this is serviceable
