Creator/MervGriffin and a pre-''Series/AmericanIdol'' Ryan Seacrest usher in the age of the internet with this children's GameShow, which ran for two seasons from 1997 to 1999.

* ArtisticLicenseLinguistics: One question asks, "What do the words on the front of a coin, 'E Pluribus Unum', mean?" One of the answers, the correct one, says, "Out of one, many"...except that the meaning of "pluribus" and "unum" were switched the other way around, since the correct answer is actually "Out of ''many'', ''one''." Looks like somebody didn't know their Latin very well.

The first roun-er, Level, had each team play the board for an allotted amount of time trying to build up their score. In Level 2, control of the mouse started with the lowest-scoring team (like Griffin's own ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''), but could be stolen by opponents on a wrong answer or if controlling team hits [[{{Whammy}} the dreaded Virus space]] (in the grand tradition of ''Series/WheelOfFortune''). Again like ''Wheel'', Seacrest assumed control of the board in the final round, with one member of each team at each station (the first to answer), the other members at their respective podiums (who could all ring in if the first player to answer missed), and all questions are affixed to a $100 bounty. Part-way through, the teammates switched in. The team with the highest cumulative score advanced to the bonus round.

** If a team had $75 or less when they land on the Double Click, the question given was valued at $100.

* GameShowHost: Ryan Seacrest.

* LastChanceHitPoint: In Level 1, if a question is asked before the timer hits zero, the team playing is given the opportunity to answer it.
* LuckBasedMission: Most of the game applies, but the third round in particular. One team could, theoretically, be blessed to get first shot at several questions in a row. And, since each player's teammate stood behind at the podium, the respective team could have [[ExtraTurn two opportunities to answer the same question]].

** Most prevalent in Level 3 due to how it's played. If the player at the Motherboard/Hard Drive was unable to provide a correct answer, his/her partner could ring in and save the question for the team.

* BonusSpace: [[DoubleTheDollars Double Click]], which appeared in round 1, could double a team's score if the corresponding question was answered correctly. (However, if a team had $75 or lower, a Double Click question was valued at $100.)

* {{Whammy}}: The Virus (Crash in season 2), which gave the other two teams a chance to steal control of the mouse if they answer correctly.

Three teams of two competed; the game primarily involved selecting categories off a ''Series/PressYourLuck''-style video wall (with a giant mouse button, [[MeaningfulName hence the name of the show]]), answering questions to earn money. While some questions were general knowledge, some special questions with technological themes required dashing from the main podium (the "motherboard") to a different "station" on the set, such as the Web Site (which mainly dealt in visual questions) and Word Wizard (which mainly featured word-related puzzles). In the second season, general knowledge questions were moved to another station, the Hard Drive, and Word Wizard became the Chat Room.
