Sci-Fi Chan Trivia Tr

So...Your waiting your turn to get on the family computer,or your watching the Oscar's (hoping this will be the year they give a nod to sci-fi/horror films,)and they're having one of those musical numbers, or worse...your cable's gone out and you have to watch Star Trek IV with commercials....what to do? Pull out your copy of "The Sci-Fi Channel Trivia Book" and have some fun! It claims it is the Ultimate Triva Challenge, and for Sci-Fi/Horror Buffs IT IS! There are 1,000 questions to challenge you and your friends. Test your knowledge on Movies, Television, and even Comic Books. The questions are divided into those three main topics, plus a fourth called "Wormhole" which has a little bit of everything.There are point values for each question ranging from 10-50 pts. and each pt. value has about 50 questions in each. Even some the 10 pointers are quite challenging. From Movies 10 pts: What football star was the other head in the 1972 Ray Milland film "The Thing With Two Heads?" From Television 50 pts: Name the Outer Limits episode where a couple is pursued by tumbleweeds controlled by an alien intelligence. In the book you do get to pick from multiple choice answers and the actual answers are in the back (NO PEAKING). There's a bonus section in the back also, a survey of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers on their favorit books, authors, etc.What I really enjoyed about it is the wide variety of questions, if there's one subject your not great at, you'll get em on the next! Also you can play alone or with as many people as you want. This would make a great stocking stuffer for the sci-fi fan in your life (or for yourself)."May the force be with you" Laurie

The SciFi Channel has done it! They've challenged our minds and memories with simply oodles and oodles of great trivia questions. Separated into four categories (movie, television, comics and wormhole - a miscellaneous hodgepodge of questions) these questions get progressively more difficult as you move along through the chapters. The questions go from 10pts to 40pts and believe me, the 40pt questions will cause all but the most die-hard fan of the genre to run away screaming! The only complaint I have is that looking up the answers in the back of the book is sometimes tricky since the questions are numbered 1-50 in EACH point range instead of a flat 1-200 in each category. Another great aspect of this book, besides its potential for a great evenings fun with other sci-fi fans is the fact that it includes recommended reading lists and the lists of favorite books and movies of members of the SFFWA. Recommendation lists like this give fans a chance to cross into genres that they might never have entered without a little nudge. A definite must-have for fans and collectors of sci-fi and it makes a great companion book to the cd-rom of the same name.

This book is relly cool! I got a lot of the answers right on the trivia.
