Garfield Trivia Game

Not to be confused with The Garfield Trivia Book.

Garfield Trivia Game is a 1989 computer game released for Apple II computers and IBM PC. It was developed by EIS, Inc. and distributed by Developmental Learning Materials, Inc.

Gameplay

The game can be played by one player or a team. After entering name(s), four of the following seven categories may be selected for the game (each selectable by their corresponding number):

• 1 Friends
• 2 TV Shows
• 3 Dates/Facts
• 4 Garfield
• 5 Odds & Ends
• 6 Wisdom
• 7 CHANGE DISK

Each turn, a player spins to get a question from any of the four selected categories. If the spin lands in neither of the chosen four categories, the player will be given a "mystery box", which can give multiple prizes, such as extra points for the next question. When a type of question is chosen, the player may play it or pass. Each question is multiple-choice, with four answers available to choose from.

When a player gets a question right, Garfield will be shown dancing. When a wrong answer is given, Garfield will be shown laughing. Points will be added or deducted based on the results.
