Did you known that: English Prime Minister John Major is the son of a
circus acrobat and left home at 16 to support his family...Adragon Eastwood
De Mello obtained a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of California
before his twelfth birthday...King Taufa'ahau of Tonga is the world heaviest
monarch at 462 lbs...Sir Richard Burton, famous English explorer, fought with
Kit Carson and spoke 20 languages...or that the famous astronomer Tycho Brahe
had a gold nose, having lost his original in duel? This is fascinating
information and with a good dose of interesting history of the kind they never
taught us in high school. In the last analysis, the magnetism of any TRIVIA
SHELL rests upon the depth and fascination of the information available and
there is an abundance of that in MEN OF THE WORLD. This terrific game will
stretch your imagination and test your intellectual skills.
TRIVIA SHELLs are fascinating, engaging, interactive games which will
challenge your knowledge about your favorite subject. TRIVIA SHELLs have
three levels of play: Beginner (true-false), Intermediate (default, multiple
choice) and Advanced (fill-in-the-blank). You can you choose the level of
play and also toggle such features as Humor (you will get teased!), Sound,
Randomize Questions, Allow Hints, Display Answer, Repeat Wrong Answer and
Timed Play (default is 30 seconds). The Browse menu allows you to choose
groups of questions to examine by keyword and review their answers. Each
game of TRIVIA SHELL may be individualized from the Setup Game menu. From
one to four players may play a game of TRIVIA SHELL and you can specify the
number of questions to be answered in each round: other options involve
bonuses and penalties.
