Mike Read's Computer Pop Quiz
Commodore 64 · 1988
About this game
BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read presented a pop music quiz show, which is recreated here with questions from the 50s to the 80s.
You can play against the computer or another human; either way, select a specialist subject and 2 team-mate graphics (all representing white people).

The overall style and presentation are very similar to Elite's earlier A Question of Sport license.
In the first round you select one of twelve random questions from the Jukebox, each of which has four options.
A correct answer earns you two points, while an incorrect answer gives your opponent the chance to steal for one point.
In round 2 you get three clues to name a star - you get three points for guessing from one clue, two points from two, and one point if you need all 3.
In round three, choose an Easy question (from your category) for one point, or a Hard one (from someone else's) for two.
Round four asks you to Guess The Year that a set of events happened in, with scoring the same as round 2.
Then comes the quickfire round - answer up to nine questions in 45 seconds, with a 2-second penalty for an incorrect answer.
Finally, the six remaining Jukebox pictures are revealed and answered.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Mike Read's Computer Pop Quiz for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mike Read's Computer Pop Quiz, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Commodore 64 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
