Quiz H.Q. (Japan)

Quiz H.Q., released in Japan by Taito in 1990, is a two-player quiz game presented on Taito’s F2 system hardware. Players answer questions displayed on screen, competing against each other to see who can correctly respond the fastest and accumulate points. The gameplay bears a loose connection to the Chase H.Q. series, though it focuses entirely on testing knowledge rather than vehicle pursuits. The game features five buttons for player input, allowing for quick responses during the quiz rounds. Questions are presented in Japanese, requiring familiarity with the language to participate effectively. Two players can simultaneously engage, adding a competitive element to the experience as they race against one another to answer correctly. Developed by a team including Fumio Horiuchi and Kumi Mizobe, Quiz H.Q. offers a unique blend of quiz-style gameplay and familiar arcade aesthetics from the early 1990s.
