The D Show is a 1998 trivia/quiz game developed by Cyberflix and published by Disney Interactive. The game is themed as a quiz show with multiple-choice questions about the works of The Walt Disney Company. The gameplay is comparable to the You Don't Know Jack series.
The game was released on August 18, 1998 for Windows and Macintosh.
The game has been out-of-print for years and is unlikely to ever be re-released, mainly due to the fact that it only covers Disney history up to the release of Mulan (1998).
