Trivial Pursuit , the classic board game, made its way into home computers with this Atari ST version in 1970 . 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.
The gameplay offers two modes: Single Player, where you answer 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 the same as the board game: Art & Literature, Science & Nature, Geography, History, Sports & Leisure, and Entertainment. Two new question styles take advantage of computer technology - some questions relate to a picture or diagram, while others relate to music. Additionally, there's a statistical analysis feature that shows how players performed across categories.
