Trivial Pursuit

So often the computer version of a board games leaves you with the distinct impression that the original was far more fun anyway, so why did they bother? One notable exception to this rule was Trivial Pursuit, which is now available on the Atari ST.

Although the success of the computer game has obviously been, in part, due to the amazing popularity of the original board game, the well thought out implementation and cute screen presentation together with the addition of music and picture questions have definitely helped give Domark a well-deserved hit.

The ST version of Trivial Pursuit is undoubtedly the best yet, containing all the features of the previous versions together with enhanced graphics and a new screen for the picture questions.

Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition

As before, the game features Trivial Pursuit, your very own animated question master, the game board, two separate screens where the questions themselves are asked, and a chart showing how well each player is doing in each of the six different question categories.

The entire game is mouse controlled, leaving you free to sit back and enjoy yourself trying to answer 3,000 questions you knew the answer to... afterwares!
