Ever thought of having a Trivia contest, for prize or just fun?

I am a wealth of historical knowledge and could help.

Q: What was the first handheld videogame?

A: Milton Bradleys MISSILE ATTACK, 1976 which was re-released
as BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in 1979.

Q: First game Designed by a woman and the first
game(s) PROGRAMMED by a woman?

A: Centipede , Donna Bailey (design only)
and Tic Tac Toe, Checkers, Polo and RIVER RAID by Carol Shaw
(I always hoped she would marry me....oh well <

Q: What is the dumbest idea this week?
A: A videogame trivia contest.

Hah! Beat ya! I kill me!

Is it just me, or are these trivia challenges much less "challenging" when the answers are provided from the start?

Dave, it was just a suggestion. But since you want a challenge.

What was the first "visual" game on a computer
(nope, not space war!)

What was the SECOND prize in Pac Man Plus?

What was the first FIRST-PERSON space shooter
on the Atari 2600 (nope, not star raiders)?

Have fun!

That would be Star Ship, which was part of the "original nine" Atari VCS releases.

Yes! My you are sharpies! Tennis for two
byMr. Hignbotham (not sure of the spelling)
at the 195(2)? science fair on an osiloscope!

And Starship was the answer to number three...

So what is the second prize in Pac-man plus? Anybody?

And heres a real toughie (I learned the hard way)
What is the only Colecovision game that doesnt
work on the ADAM computer?

As is this: What were the first THREE (!?)
hidden messages in videogames (nope, not Adventure!)

Keep playing! Cash! Prizes! girls! In your dreams!

*Beeep* wrong answer. The FIRST prize is coke.
The second prize is either a pink lemonade or
a Margarita, depending on your drinking age.

I'll give you the second Q: The only colecovision
game that doesnt work on the coleco adam is SUPER COBRA.

So, first games with hidden messages (there are 3 before
Adventure, none by Atari!)?

First maze game? First 2600 maze game?

I told ya, I'm a wealth of useless knowledge...<:
