Triviaal

Triviaal is a Dutch DOS quiz game from 1993. The title is simply the Dutch word for "trivial", and the contents match: general-knowledge questions, multiple choice, a running score. The genre was popular before the internet largely because one programmer could build one — the whole game rested on a text file of questions.

Nothing reliable survives about the author or the publisher. It is a fair sample of the Dutch shareware and public domain scene, where titles like this travelled on floppies, through BBSes and in local program collections. That is also why international retro sites pass it by: the questions are in Dutch, and outside the Netherlands there was nothing to do with them.
