Who Wants to Beat Up a Millionaire , released for the Sega Dreamcast in 2000, is an action-packed parody of the popular TV game show. The story revolves around answering questions and competing against five in-game millionaires, with the goal of draining their bank accounts by beating them half to death. Egregious Phillin, a caricature of Regis Philbin, hosts the show and provides comedic commentary throughout the game.
Gameplay-wise, Who Wants to Beat Up a Millionaire requires quick thinking and reflexes as players answer questions and respond to the on-screen millionaires. Each correct answer brings the millionaire closer to defeat, while incorrect answers result in them escaping with their money. The game also introduces its own twist on lifelines from the original show, known as Lifeboats.
