    Default $32,000 Millionaire question

    Today on Who Wants to be a Millionaire there was an easy as hell video game question (for us at least) for a massive $32,000. It was:

    In 1981, what famous video game character was created with the name "Jumpman?"

    A. Pac-man
    B. Mario
    C. Sonic
    D. Centipede

    Has anyone else seen a VG related question on the show, either prime time or day-time? This is the first one I've seen.

    Did the contestent get the answer right?
    We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

    Is it mario? I'm assuming so.

    Dorks like me know pac-man was before 1981 and sonic was after, more 1990, and centipede just doesn't make sense.

    Pac-Man = Puck-Man anyways.

    Yep, it's Jumpman. That's what he was called back in the days of new Donkey Kong cabinets. In a way, DK is older than Mario, and I bet his character was thought up first as well.

    I swear, there was once a high-level question that went like this:

    Which of these is not a pokemon?

    A) Pikachu
    B) Jigglypuff
    C) Frodo
    D) Diglett

    And the guy walked away. Bah, mainstream.

    Yeah, the guy got it right, but he admitted he had no clue and guessed.
