Game Classification

The 80's Game With Martha Quinn is a trivia game featuring questions about the 80's. Categories include music, movies, TV, Sports, and Wild Card. For each question, the player can choose one of three categories and difficulties, with more difficult questions giving higher points. Once the question is displayed, the player can either choose "I Know It!" or "I'll Guess It!". Choosing "I Know It!" will give the player one guess, but will provide a large points boost if answered correctly. Choosing "I'll Guess It!" gives the player three guesses, with each wrong guess decreasing the reward. After this choice, the four possible answers are displayed. If the correct answer is found, a bonus question will ask what year the event occurred, giving two options. Answering correctly will provide a points bonus. Correct answers add to Star Power, which roughly correlates with points. Getting enough Star Power will increase your 80's Power Level, giving more points for each question, and allowing longer play in Free Play and Challenge mode.

Four modes are included: Free Play, Challenges, Episodes, and Versus. In Free Play, the player is asked 10 questions from random categories, with the aim to reach the top of the high score list. In Challenges, the player picks the category, with the aim to collect all stars by reaching a high score of 500,000 in each category. In Episodes, the player will play though a set of questions, being ranked in their performance. In Versus, it's player against player for the top score. Each player gets one question in turn, and the winner is the one with the highest score.

By completing achievements like "Answer 100 questions correctly", 80's gear will be unlocked. The player's progress is viewable on the "My Gear" screen. [source:mobygames]
