Quick show of hands among Xbox 360 owners: Who remembers 1 vs. 100? For those who don’t, it was an adaptation of a popular game show back in 2009 for Xbox Live members of all ages to participate in, where live, pre-scheduled matches would involve a random player being picked as “The One”, 100 more random players being picked as “The Mob”, and everyone else being “The Crowd”.
From there, players would answer multiple-choice trivia questions, with The One having the opportunity to win Microsoft Points and The Mob having the opportunity to take those points for themselves if The One lost. Other features included real-time narration from host Chris Cashman and pre-recorded dialog from co-host Jen Taylor, best known to gamers as the voice of Princess Peach and Cortana.
Though 1 vs. 100 did very well, the company discontinued the program in 2010 and hasn’t really done anything like it since on their home consoles.
