Rarity:
One version is common, at least one other version is rare  |
| Notes: | [1] Licensed game based on the Waddingtons/MPC Games boardgame of the 1980s UK TV quiz show
Pop Quiz. The TV show ran for 8 years and, in turn, was based on the pop quiz radio show hosted by BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read.
[2] Original game design by Ian Upton and Nick Acton. Graphics by David Percival and Gary Tonge. Audio composed by Mark Cooksey; audio coding by Darren Pegg (P.M.S. Systems).
[3] MIKE READ'S POP QUIZ 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 software bosses and in-house programmers. |
