Double Dare

Double Dare was a Nintendo NES Video Game based on the hit TV game show of the same name that was broadcast on Nickelodeon from October 6, 1986 through October 6, 1993.

The NES game of Double Dare was released on January 1, 1988. The game was played the same as the game show's first 2 seasons--except that instead of the teams being red, one team was blue and the other was red (a practice that Nickelodeon would begin at the start of Season 3 of Double Dare in February 1988, a month after this game was released; also, at the start of Season 4 of the game show in September 1988, a glass tile was added behind original host Marc Summers's podium.)

The basic rules of this game went something like this--the generic host (who was supposed to look like Marc Summers) asked the team who won $10 at the beginning of round 1 a question; if they didn't know the answer, or thought the other team didn't have a clue, they could dare them to answer it for double the money. But you had to be careful, because the other team could always double dare you back for 4 times the amount, and you either had to give an answer or take a Physical Challenge.



Round 2 was played the same as Round 1, with the money amount doubled. Whoever was in the lead at the end of this round won the game and got the chance to go to the Obstacle Course, where they had 60 seconds or less to grab 8 flags; if they succeeded, they got the chance to go on a Holiday Vacation.

End credits played after the prizes won were announced.
