He's looking for something which works over the Internet, so board games don't help.

Brig Bother:
Correct. It would seem to be possible too, You Don't Know Jack 5 seems to be playable online. Although I can't get it working on XP, annoyingly.

chris319:
Seems like it would require some fancy programming to figure out when the question arrived on the player's screen and when they buzzed in, irrespective of transmission time. Once you've got that figured out you have to get it to work over IRC.

Good luck.

 Yes. I used to play it online quite a bit, before the game started to attract griefers who spent all of their time playing stupid sound effects in an effort to distract serious players.

I can't remember if I've installed it since I've had XP, though. If I remember I'll try it tonight. No reason in the world that it _shouldn't_ work, near as I can tell...

--- Quote ---One key and the opposing Family member would put their finger on the Three key. As soon as someone buzzed in their digit would show up first on the display. It's a Poor Mans Buzz in Device, but it performs using the exact same principle as a Big Game Show Buzzer and serves the purpose just as well.

That's a terrific idea John!  I would have never thought of something like that.
