Notes:   [1] Licensed game based on the Waddingtons/MPC Games boardgame of the 1980s UK TV quiz show. The TV show ran for 8 years and, in turn, was based on Mike Read's pop quiz radio show. [2] Original game design by Ian Upton and Nick Acton. Audio composed by Mark Cooksey; audio coding by Darren Pegg (P.M.S. Systems). [3] The game is essentially a rehash of an earlier Elite game, A QUESTION OF SPORT. The graphics are the same except for a different colour scheme and Mike Read's digitised face, and the same musical jingle is played in between rounds of questions. The titlescreen and music are different, though. TRIVIA: The digitised faces of quiz team members in the game belonged to Elite's in-house programmers.
