Big Bucks

Challenge a friend to a battle of wits in Big Bucks, a quiz game released by Dynasoft in 1986. Two players compete simultaneously, answering trivia questions presented on screen to accumulate money and climb the leaderboard. The gameplay is straightforward; using a four-way joystick, select an answer from multiple choices displayed below each question. The game presents inquiries covering a range of topics, all posed in English. Correct answers earn points which translate directly into virtual dollars—the more difficult the question, the bigger the payout. With a vertical screen displaying graphics in a limited color palette, Big Bucks offers a straightforward and engaging experience focused solely on testing knowledge against an opponent. Big Bucks utilizes a Zilog Z80 processor and a Namco sound chip for its audio. It's a compact game, featuring a resolution of 224 x 288 pixels and a refresh rate of approximately 60.61 Hz.
