Trivia Game Show is a rather unusual looking game published by Impressions in 1991.
Other Amiga quiz games covered in the past include, Mike Read's Computer Pop Quiz, Emlyn Hughes Arcade Quiz, A Question of Sport and Red Dwarf Trivia Quiz Championship Edition.
Red Dwarf Trivia Quiz was a bit of a disappointment as I'm a huge Red Dwarf fan, but I don't think this was commercially released or even a licensed game, so we can perhaps let that one off.
Trivia Game Show is designed for one to six human players. Although admittedly, there's nothing to stop you being more than one quiz show contestant. I certainly did in the review. Go for it!
The aim is to correctly answer an increasing number of subject questions within a minute. Not sure who is working the clock on this though. Think it could well be broken. This does often lead to a bit of panic in the last few moments.
A Johnathan Ross lookalike presents the show. He looks like he has spent some time in a lunatic asylum and is just one step away from turning into the joker from Batman. Hooray!
The most fun is at the beginning selecting a contestant and entering their name and occupation. This part is totally irrelevant to the quiz however. Awesome!
It's multiple choice. You need to get speed reading and speed clicking here. Round 1, you have to answer 2 questions correctly within the minute period. If successful you then pick a different subject and need to answer 3 questions correctly. The challenge increases by 1 extra correct answer per round to qualify.
There are some top prizes on offer too! Well... that's a lie. I come away with two packs of playing cards and a garden gnome. Don't think I can retire on this.
Trivia Game Show is ok for one or two plays for novelty value, then it's very unlikely you'll play it ever again.
