Title: Mindless Trivia Game
Post by: Rakala on August 12, 2008, 07:38:24 AM
Very basic game. First person thinks up a trivia question. First person who can answer it gets to think up the next question. It simply keeps going until one person can't think of a new question which really shouldn't be a problem. I'll start us off.

What are Tim Burton's two most recurring actors in his films?


UPDATE: It's not cheating to use Google, Wikipedia, or whatever your preference is.

How many Final Fantasy games are there total? This includes numerical ones, any of the others (i.e. Crystal Chronicles, Tactics), and remakes are considered seperate from the original version. Good luck with this one guys.

Currently released, I think there are 19.  But 21 if you're including FFXIII.

So do you get to ask a new question?
Title: Re: Mindless Trivia Game
Post by: Rakala on August 13, 2008, 06:35:56 PM
Oh, yeah. Uh.... What latin term means "it does not follow"?
Title: Re: Mindless Trivia Game
Post by: VSMIT on August 13, 2008, 06:40:55 PM
Non Sequitur.
Title: Re: Mindless Trivia Game
Post by: Rakala on August 13, 2008, 08:33:07 PM
Yes. Non Sequitor is correct.

...I'm pretty sure non sequitur is correct, actually.

Oh.

Scorched Earth?
Title: Re: Mindless Trivia Game

I'll just let you know if someone gets it right.
Title: Re: Mindless Trivia Game

Missile Command?

According to Wikipedia, Tank Wars was released in 1980.

That's not "with MS-DOS 5", though. That was in 1991, which puts it about the time of Scorched Earth.

The only thing that comes to mind is a possible add-in for QBasic, called "Gorillas"...

I'm just making educated guesses. I wasn't sure when MS-DOS 5 came out so I focused on the artillery section of it. Anyways, I'm out of guesses.

Actually, llearch got it right with Gorillas.  Hitting the sun with a banana was fun.
