Another Trivial Game For The Pocket PC!
Posted by Brad Adrian in "SOFTWARE" @ 02:00 AM
Handmark, which has a history of porting some of my very favorite board games to the Pocket PC, has done it again! Now, they've released another favorite, Trival Pursuit Handheld Edition.
"The world's most popular trivia game is now available for users of Windows Mobile™ handheld devices. With incredible new game features, the TRIVIAL PURSUIT® Handheld Edition rewards the clever, while still highlighting everyone's trivia talents. The game features over 1600 questions in six categories- Sports and Leisure, Arts and Entertainment, History, Science and Nature, People and Places, and Wild Card."
This looks so cool! You can download a free demo version or the full version from the Handango site.
BUT...Here's where I have a couple of problems. First, the demo only allows you to load and play the game a total of five times (whether or not you finish the game); I think a time-limited version gives potential buyers a much better feel for the game. Second, Handmark is sticking to its practice of pricing its games at $29.99. These are admittedly great games, but I think $20 is much more reasonable.
