Who Becomes Amiga Guru? (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

Hello again,

Hope you enjoyed my last post about gaming on AmigaOS 4.1, which covered the shoot’em up game Battle Squadron. If not, please have a read here. I have lots of ideas of things I want to do with this series, such as making a section with download-links and rankings of the different games. These are all just thoughts, so it’ll probably be a while before something materializes. Now, please read on for… Who Becomes Amiga Guru?

Who Becomes Amiga Guru? (Marko Drag)

This is a small game that is based on the well known TV-show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Here you’ll get questions about Amiga, AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS and more! It was developed by an Amiga user with the name Marko Drag. He previously released a puzzle game called Soko4MUI.

The game is pretty straight forward and easy to get into. Installation is a matter of unpacking the archive to a location of your choice. If you’d like to test it out temporarily, you can unpack it to RAM:.

The first thing you’ll see after starting the game is this menu:

Choosing options brings you this:

It is worth mentioning that the game is available in both English and German. I went with English, left the sound ON and entered my first round of the quiz..

Well, I don’t consider being an Amiga Guru a worthless title, so I gave everything to win this contest! It started off very easy with a couple of simple questions, but it got much harder after a while. Here’s a few examples:

Easy question – Notice it asks for “soccer”, not “football” (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

Still OK – Eyetech for the win! (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

It’s getting worse! (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

Let us use the 50/50 option to remove two of the answers (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

Now I’m in trouble! Let’s call someone – that is probably a good idea! (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

This bloke seems to have it covered (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

Game over man! (screenshot by Old School Game Blog)

As you can see from the screenshots, the game is true to the style and methods of the old TV-show. Here you can use the 50% elimination tool or call someone to aid you. Above I decided to call Roy Miller (Amiga Roy) and he apparently had too many beers that night. When I tried another round I gave him a second chance and he gave me the correct answer. :) So be careful, calling Amiga Roy can go both ways! Anyway, I did beat the game after a couple of tries, but I will not share the end-game screen here – you must play the game to see it. :D

This game is fun for people who are interested in the Amiga and would like to test their knowledge. It is not a game you’ll be playing for hours, but it’s good for a bit of relaxation. I also think it’ll be a success at an Amiga gathering for example – several people could then compete on becoming the Amiga Guru.

If you’d like to try it out, get it for free at OS4Depot:
