    I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't for the life of me find a forum for this. I've been searching and searching for a trivia game I used to play as a kid, I'm pretty sure it was on a demo CD, or it could have been on it's own.

    The game was a little like a casino, you pressed a button, or pulled a lever and three categories would rotate, then you could have a pick out of the three to answer. Categories were amongst famous people, famous quotes, sound effects, landmarks etc. If anyone has any idea what this game could be I would be so grateful.

    At the end it would tally your score to show how well you did in each category. The bar was green.

    Sounds alot like the old TV game show The Jokers Wild(1972-1986) hosted by Jack Barry(1st),Jim Peck(2nd), and then Bill Cullen(3rd). It msde a come back 1990-1991 with host Pat Finn.

    Thank you for answering, it was neither of those games but thank you for trying. It definitely wasn't a TV show as I played it on the PC.

    Of course, lol. That was my first port of call. No such luck there, it seems to be a very obscure game. It would help if I could remember the name but I was a kid when I last played it so the name has slipped my mind.

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't made from a TV show though.

    On the categories for quotes it would have a man speak it out, if that helps at all and a green bar to the side which was the timer, when it ran out you default failed the question.
