Putting together a short dos trivia quiz video for a holiday event with friends. 10 questions from easy to tough. Assuming it goes well, I'll post it to my YouTube channel afterwards.
As usual, I'm over-engineering the thing. 😕 Have spent 10+ hours in production thus far.

The artwork of #Gauntlet by Joe Chiodo used on the cover of the #NES releases (both) in North America. It was also used for Gauntlet IV on #SegaGenesis/#MegaDrive (all regions). Added some missing bits on the sides/bottom, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo.

They're nice reads.... and they have type-ins! Proper type-ins, like the Old Days!
Amazing Black Friday bargain : All issues of Break Space, perhaps the world's finest ZX Spectrum magazine, are available for FREE.
