Trivial Pursuit (Jewel Case)

Summary: Doesn't work with Win 2000
Review: Although the description states that this game is compatible with Windows in general, it does not work with Win 2000, and I would bet NT or XP. The infogrames site only lists 95/98. Since the infogrames site does not list Trivial pursuit as an active title, having just an agreement to support it with Hasbro, its erstwhile maker, I would not expect that they will do anything about updating it to support current Windows systems anytime soon.

Review: Trivial Pursuit is one of the original and best trivia games out there, and this CD lives up to its track record. With questions, sounds, pictures, animations, and video by the thousands, it's well worth the ... price tag.

Here's how the game is played. You roll a die, move your token (a colored game pie) that number of spaces in any direction (you always have at least two ways to go), and answer a question in the color you land on (for example, in this game, a pink square will get you an Arts & Entertainment question). If you get it right, you get another turn. If you get a right answer while you're on a "wedge space", guess what?--you earn a wedge in that color. When you fill your pie with one wedge from each color, you have to get to the center of the board, then answer a question in what your OPPONENTS think is your worst category. Do that and you win the game!
