Trivia Trek

Jerry White, one of the earliest software programmers for the Atari computers, has written virtually every type of videogame for this system, from arcade to computerized board games. Trivia Trek, however, is of interest not for its fancy graphics - it's all text - or a revolutionary play-mechanic, since the pursuit of "trivia" is at least fifteen years old. What he has produced is a fantastic program that should prove popular whether being played solo by a high-tech maven of minutia or at a party with a dozen or so gamers involved.
Trivia, as I'm sure our readers know, is the pursuit of relatively minor bits of information from the world of popular culture. Old movies, TV shows, cartoons, sports - all are suitable subjects for the dedicated trivi-addict, and all turn up on White's amusing program in the form of multiple-choice questions / answers. Questions are selected by topic and if the gamer has a few bits of triviana to add, that can also be arranged by following the clear instructions provided in the documentation.
The motto of all "triviats" (as lovers of the subject are dubbed) might well be: "It isn't of Earth-shaking importance but it's certainly fun." That statement also serves as the perfectly apt description of Trivia Trek as well.
