Finally, my video gaming knowledge comes in handy...

...in Trivial Pursuit.

I was playing the DVD edition with some friends (where the pie-piece questions are given on a DVD). I insisted my team's game piece had to be the Atari Joystick (other options were cell phone, cassette tape, and lava lamp).

Anyway, in this version the sports category is now "Sports and Games" and so I was able to get these two questions right:

1. The founder of Chuck E Cheese's created what game?

2. What is the relation between Sirrus and Achenar in the game Myst?

There was one more video-game related question, but it wasn't given to my team (and it might have been in the music category)

3. What soft rock band's animated likenesses were features in a 1980 arcade game?

Any other times you've had to use video game trivia?

(highlight below for answers)

1. Pong
2. Brothers
3. Journey

Hahaha, I got that third question last time I played. I felt like such a dork.

Also, the question "In the game Joust, what unlikely steed does the player ride"

I can't remember exactly what my questions were, but I know I kept getting them right. It wasn't very surprising to my family though, it was pretty much just "Aww, damn, he got it, OF COURSE..."

BTW, I love the joystick piece. I don't even have to request it, it's RESERVED for me. lol Fun game.
