JIMMY THE GEEK TRIVIA GEMS(c) is distributed under the

DEMO (unregistered) version for a reasonable period of
time, which I consider to be 2 months, after which you must

and the Trivia Questions are (c)Copyright 1990 by Peter

Registration
**************
With registration you will receive the latest registered
copy of the JIMMY THE GEEK TRIVIA GEMS along with a large
database of questions. Program updates will be available
through VERVANS WAR BOARD BBS and DATA TAMERS BBS if you're
a modem user.
Over a year of work went into the development and refinement
of the questions and programming in JIMMY THE GEEK TRIVIA
GEMS. The questions are, we believe, of top quality in
nature. Not only are the questions provided in Typical
True/False setup but MATCHING, FILL-IN, MULTIPLE CHOICE are
also used extensively. JIMMY THE GEEK TRIVIA GEMS was
intended for the thinking gamer. We believe you
will recognize the excellence of this game and want to
invest in the additional questions that registration will
bring you.
Distribution
************
You are free, in fact encouraged, to distribute the
DEMO (unregistered) version of the JIMMY THE GEEK
TRIVIA GEMS provided that all files contained in the
original JTG-HOMx.ZIP archive are distributed in their
original unmodified state.
Introduction
&
How To Play
***********
Trivia Questions are posed in FILL-IN, TRUE/FALSE, MULTIPLE
CHOICE, and MATCHING FORMATS. Most of the FILL-IN Questions
will, if answered INCORRECTLY, automatically move you ahead
to a MULTIPLE CHOICE format for that SAME question. You
might as well guess at the FILL-IN ANSWER as you WON'T be
penalized for an incorrect answer. You may also 'move
ahead' by entering a blank line. Scoring is 500 Points for a
correct FILL-IN answer, 300 Points for a SINGLE-ANSWER
MULTIPLE CHOICE, 200 Points Each for a DOUBLE-ANSWER
MULTIPLE CHOICE 100 Points for a TRUE/FALSE, and 250 Points
for EACH correct MATCHING ANSWER. A running total of your
score will be shown on the screen. The 10 Highest SCORES
will be displayed in the game and Bulletin. The Program
allows for one round of questions to be played with NO
REPLAY!! Should you stop in the middle of the game, you will
resume playing AT THAT POINT.
**************
Installation
**************
Simply Un-Zip the files in the JTG-HOMx.ZIP file
into your game directory and type JTG-HOME and the
game will commence. Please note that the registered
version will only run on a system with a Hard Drive
as the databases for the questions are quite large.
Jimmy the Geek Trivia Gems is presently only available
in IBM Format.
