INTRODUCTION
WHAT HAPPENED ON NAPOLEONS' WEDDING NIGHT . .
IN STAR WARS, WHO WAS THE LEADER OF THE STORM TROOPERS . .
WHAT DO JUMBO AND TRIGGER HAVE IN COMMON . . .
The answers to these and dozens of other weird, wonderful
questions are found in MICROTRIVIA. Match your wits with
RALPH THE TRIVIAL COMPUTER and then, when rendered witless,
inflict the same fate on your unsuspecting friends.
Speakeasy's MICROTRIVIA is certain to make them feel
totally inadequate.
WARNING . . . DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN PLAY - THEY WILL
CERTAINLY KNOW MORE THAN YOU.
MICROTRIVIA is not a serious, educational simulation
designed for Ph.D. candidates and is best played at a
party, along with plenty of good food and drink. All
kinds of famous people have not played MICROTRIVIA,
PRESIDENT CARTER has not played MICROTRIVIA. BOBBY ORR
has not played MICROTRIVIA.
However, we are pleased to see that you are playing
MICROTRIVIA, and we hope it will provide you and your
friends with a good deal of amusement. Normally, it
is our policy to produce software that instructs as
well as amuses - but in this case we don't think we
should make any claims of that sort, lest you decide
to sue us.
So, just enjoy it and if you would like to see more
programs of this nature, please let us know.
LOADING
INSTRUCTIONS
- We will assume you have mastered this part of the
action, from your operator's manual.
TO START - Just type RUN and hit the RETURN key.
The first part of the program only lasts a few
minutes and it is designed to "warm you up".
All you need to do is type in any answer you
want and hit the RETURN key.
If you don't know an answer, just hit the
RETURN key. The correct answer will be
provided for you.
THE MENU - Soon you will come to the MENU part of the
TIME -
TO STOP
HINT -
program. It lists the various CATEGORIES of
TRIVIA and asks you which one you wish to play.
Just type in the CATEGORY NUMBER - e.g.
T.V. STARS - 4.
Just keep playing, by choosing from the MENU, as
long as you wish. Short periods of time for each
player are recommended, at any one sitting.
MICROTRIVIA goes well in a party setting, or when
friends or family are over.
- Select CATEGORY 13 - STOP.
People who don't have a computer and who have never
used one before, tend to hit the RETURN key too hard,
so much so at times, that they end up stopping the
program. A reminder that a gentle touch will do is
often in order.
