- Trivia Challenger is Available!
-
- Trivia Challenger is a quiz game to be installed as a BBS door, or for
- standalone use. It features more than 1500 questions in ten different
- categories (Movies, Rock music, Science, The Arts, etc.). It has
- consistently proved the MOST POPULAR door on the BBSes where it is
- installed, with more daily users than such old favorites as Global War,
- King of the Board and Operation Overkill II.
-
- If you want to evaluate this game on your PC / BBS, please send me
- mail asking for "Trivia Challenger", and I'll mail you the uuencoded
- archive.
-
- Included in the archive is a special installation/maintenance program
- that automates most of the SysOps task in installing, setting up and
- maintaining the door.
-
- Trivia Challenger should work with BBS systems compatible with PCBoard,
- Mike's BBS (MBBS), WILDCAT! systems, GAP BBS, SPITFIRE BBS and other
- systems using standard DOOR.SYS file along with RBBS-PC, QuickBBS,
- Remote Access and other systems using DORINFOx.DEF files. Trivia
- Challenger will also utilize a file called GENERIC.SYS. This file will
- allow Trivia Challenger to work on ANY BBS system.
-
- Trivia Challenger's features include interrupt driven I/O, 16550AN UART
- support, and FOSSIL support.
-
- Trivia Challenger features:
- * Unlimited number of quiz tables. You may mix several tables in a
- single door, or have separate doors for separate topics.
- * Add your own and your user's questions to the quiz tables! You can
- also create and maintain your own quiz categories.
- * More than 30 different parameters for customization, making it
- possible to configure the game in a highly personalized manner.
- * Individual questions can be configured for players to match the
- correct answer, to "fill in the blanks", or to select from a
- multiple choice menu.
-
- Trivia Challenger is shareware (cost US$ 20 or NOK 100).
-
- The evaluation archive is a fully functional game, but have the fol-
- lowing limitations compared to the full, registered version:
- * It will not generate bulletins.
- * It only admits up to 10 players each day.
- * The functions to merge new questions and categories into
- the quiz tables are disabled.
