Subject: Trivia Challenger (Trivia game for PC-based BBS'es)
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.
