INSTRUCTIONS
Question time is a game in which you must get as many questions correct as
possible.
Every question you get correct wins you one star or two stars if it was a
BONUS question.If you get thirty stars you go on to round two.
Every question you get wrong you will see an arrow advance one,and a bar
appear on the right,when three bars appear the bars are wiped off with the
next question you get wrong and the arrow advances two,this is repeated until
the arrow reaches the top by which time the game ends.
At different stages in the game you will see the word bonus in upper case
letters above the timer,if you manage to get the question correct when this
word appears you gain two stars and the bars are wiped off.
When you get thirty stars correct you will be given a code,this is to
allow you to return to the second round without answering the questions in
the first round,but if you do this you would not gain a very high score as
you would if you started from the begining.
When playing this game i hope you gain more knowledge and enjoy yourself
at the same time.
There are 320 questions 160 in the first round and 160 in the second round.
Questions in the first round are general,some of the questions in the
second round are similar to this,EG--What is neil Kinnocks favourite game?,
the answer is in the second round.Use keys 1 2 and 3 to answer the questions.
