Gameplay
Zhadnost: The People's Party is a game show consisting of a several simple contests, involving full motion video for contestants and cutscenes.

Development and release
Zhadnost: The People’s Party was developed by Studio 3DO for the company's 3DO Interactive Multiplayer console. It is the sequel to Twisted: The Game Show with both games being designed and directed by industry veteran Jim Eisenstein. Zhadnost was originally called The All New People’s Game Show when it was announced in early 1995. "Zhadnost" (жадность) is the Russian word for "greed". The term "party" in the title is a pun of its meanings for hosted celebration and a political organization, as the game largely parodies stereotypical views of communism and the former Soviet Union. This was one of only a handful of projects worked on by Kurt Kaufman for the developer, who served as the game's computer graphics art director. Kaufman claimed that Zhadnost was an exception to The 3DO Company's resistance to deviate from creating products within popular genres at the time including fighting, shooting, and sports. "Zhadnost was actually somewhat experimental, I thought," he said. "It was a little bit of a success story that that got finished and sold and published." Zhadnost was one of the few 3DO exclusives to have its soundtrack released commercially. Composed by George Sanger, it was featured on his album Surf.com.

Reception
Next Generation reviewed the 3DO version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "It makes a great party game, but wears thin too quickly."
