Trivia

The is one of the few trivia games still seen in service in some arcades. The good integration of game play makes it more than just a basic trivia game, most of which never lasted long in the shoot-'em-up world of the arcade.

Cabinet Information

Often fitted into various cabinets, this game is a simple two-player, four-button (for each player) conversion. There are no joysticks or other high-maintenance parts.

Conversion

This game can be played in a standard JAMMA cabinet using only the joystick: UP=1, DOWN=2, LEFT=3, RIGHT=4

Technical

The DIP switches can tailor the difficulty of the game by either making the questions harder or restricting the number of "lives" that each player begins with.

Fixes

This game uses a "suicide battery", located on the c-board of the PCB. When this battery dies, the game will no longer operate. You will be greeted with a blank screen upon power-up. A hack exists to revive the game, involving burning one or more new EPROMs and using the c-board from a different CPS-1 game (one that does not have a suicide battery).
