Videocracy! Tuesday Trivia Tonight! 8pm.





I'm feeling a little  nostalgic for failures of the 1990's, so:









Tonight's question:

Once referred to as "the Waterworld of videogame consoles" what electronic device was released in 1995, marketed as the first "portable" video game console capable of displaying "true 3D graphics", and was killed a year later, having sold less than a million units?


























HEY!


One of our triviators made a cool Android party game!
It's free in the Google Play Store.

Of Firsts and French Fish - Tuesday Trivia! Tonight! 8pm. - Tuesday, March 32, 2014

Tuesday, March 32, 2014

It's warming up outside, and our weekly game is doing the same.

If you want a hint for tonight, it might help for you to learn a thing or two, or even 3.14 things about pie.

Or, actually, to take a look at the first fifty digits of pi.

Tonight's question:
On this day in 1957, BBC news programme Panaorama announced that due to the mild winter and the "virtual disappearance" of a predatory weevil, Switzerland had produced a bumper harvest crop of what food?
First one to tell me, correctly, after 7:33 wins a prize.
