## Description
This is the earliest home computer incarnation of Horn Abbot International
Ltd’s classic board game, _Trivial Pursuit_. The game involves answering
questions on one of six subject categories to gain moves, and answering
questions on special squares to gain one of the six ‘Wedges’ you need to gain
the right to take on the final winning question. Questions are aimed at
British players – many entertainment questions are based on British TV, and
sport questions relate to popular British sports.
Two game modes are available: Single Player (which involves answering
questions against the clock) and Multiplayer (where you can take on up to five
human-controlled players). The computer reveals the answer, and you select
‘yes’ or ‘no’ to tell it whether you got it right.
The question categories are exactly the same as the board game: Art &
Literature, Science & Nature, Geography, History, Sports & Leisure, and
Entertainment. However two different question styles are added to take
advantage of computer technology – some questions relate to a picture or
diagram and some relate to a piece of music.
One additional feature not available in the board game is a statistical
analysis of the number and type of questions answered correctly. This can be
split into the performances of all the players, or the performance of an
individual player within the six categories. It is especially useful at the
end of the game, when choosing which category a player must answer to win the
game.
