Trivial Pursuit (Baby Boomer Edition) (3/20/85)

Test your knowledge of the era in Bally/Sente’s Trivial Pursuit (Baby Boomer Edition), released in 1984. This single-player quiz game challenges players with questions tailored to events and culture from the baby boomer generation. Using an eight-way joystick to navigate menus and select answers, you'll face trivia across a range of categories, aiming for accuracy against the clock. The game runs on Bally/Sente’s SAC-I hardware, utilizing a Motorola M6809 processor for gameplay and a Zilog Z80 alongside CEM3394 chips to generate its audio. Trivial Pursuit (Baby Boomer Edition) is one of five versions released; the others focus on subjects like sports, general knowledge ("Think Tank"), or younger audiences. Richard Adam served as the game’s adaptation and software designer, while a team contributed to graphics and sound. While originally appearing in arcades, Trivial Pursuit (Baby Boomer Edition) later found its way to home computers such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. The vibrant color palette of the 256x240 pixel screen provides visual feedback as you progress through the questions, striving for a perfect score within each round.
