Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, known as Qui Veut Gagner des Millions ? in France, is a quiz game for the Sega Dreamcast based on the television show of the same name.
Eidos Interactive published several video game adaptions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in the early 2000s, but while PlayStation and PC versions saw a widespread release across the Western world (as well as revised editions), the Dreamcast version remained exclusive to the United Kingdom (with English questions and voiceover by Chris Tarrant) and France (with French questions and Jean-Pierre Foucault playing the virtual host]]).
The game was panned by critics, as although the game features voiceovers from the then-presenters of the TV show, these presenters do not read out the questions and are never seen in game (presumably so assets could easily be recycled). Likewise there is no visible audience, and questions are likely to repeat after a few playthroughs. The virtual nature of this adaption of WWTBAM means that the "phone-a-friend" lifeline does not involve actually phoning a real friend - instead pre-recorded messages choose A, B, C or D without being told the question, the chance calculated presumably in a similar way to the "ask the audience" lifeline.
