DS Lite: Deal or No Deal
This Game — developed for the DS lite — is based on a popular game show featured on TV and surprisingly, the entire game is based on ‘picking your odds’ and dealing with numbers between 1 to 25.
According to Wikipedia :
“The general game play of Deal or No Deal involves a contestant, a host/presenter, a banker, and a set of numbered briefcases (or boxes), each containing a different value. The values themselves are known at the start of the game, but which case contains what value is unknown. At the start of the game, the contestant picks a case that they hope is one of the most valuable. During the rest of the game, the contestant selects the rest of the cases one at a time for rejection and removal from play.
The amount inside each selection is immediately revealed; by process of elimination, the amount revealed cannot be inside the player’s chosen case. After a preset number of cases have been opened, the banker offers the contestant an amount of money and/or prizes to quit the game, the offer based roughly on the amounts remaining in play and the contestant’s demeanor. The player then answers the titular question:
• “Deal”, accepting the offer presented and ending the game, or
• “No Deal”, permanently rejecting the offer and continuing to open cases
The process of removing cases and receiving offers continues until the player accepts an offer to quit, or until all offers have been rejected and all unselected cases revealed, the player then winning the value inside the case initially selected. If a player takes a deal, the game is typically continued to see how much the player could have won if they had remained in the game.”
However, putting this on the DS lite isn’t doing much of a justice to the game (there wasn’t any justice to talk about in the first place) although the phone based versions were considerably good with the ability of going home with virtual money and not having to worry about ruining the TV experience for millions of watchers by ‘giving in’ before the bitter end.
Should you buy it? If you get a good price — deal; if not, No deal.
