The Program Trivial Towers is for anyone who wishes to test
their knowlege in any area of trivia. The program allows
the user to create trivia questions of any kind and save them
to disk for future use. Anywhere from 2 to 4 players can play
at once. The computer automatically rolls one die and gives
the user the choice of moving clockwise or counterclockwise.
The user may then choose the direction he wishes to move. There
are special wild-card blocks on the board that enable the user
to choode any topic of his choice. This game follows the game
Trivial Pursuit in a computerized way. The only problem that
I found with this program, is that it does not redraw the game-
board. When entering an answer, if the computer came back with
the response "reenter?", the screen would move up one line. After
a few of these the gameboard is extremely confusing. I found that
it is much easier to choose your answer and just press return, then
decide whether or not your answer is close enough to the computers
answer.
The most simplistic way I found to boot up this software is to put
your DOS disk in drive A:, boot up, type B:, put the Trivial Towers
disk in drive B:, type A:BASICA. Then follow the programs prompts.
There are two files that you should print out. They are TTSHARE.DOC
and TTNOTE.BAS. TTNOTE.BAS is a program that is written to auto-
matically print out on your printer. TTSHARE.DOC you can just type
out in DOS. The only requirement for this program is a color monitor.
The gameboard is in color and it would be hard to tell what subject
you are on.
