Mr.Saturn

bioware always made games, however its founders came up with the money for it from programming medical computer applications

If you read Wikipedia you can interpret that way but according to the founders themselves on Kat Baileys podcast they started with medical software, realised there was no market and moved into videogames.

That is a VERY specific audience your question is aimed at.
Not only do they need to be computer game nerds...but a trekky also. *shudders* :P

Here's a nasty one:

What game did Sonic the Hedgehog first appear in.

Bonus points if you get the two games Sonic the Hedgehog appeared in before Sonic the Hedgehog on the Megadrive.

Lads, ye're not even trying.

The games were based on the franchise's popular anime.

Console itself was released in Europe in 1994, but found far more success in its native Japan, with developers still producing for it 'til 2005.

Pretty sure it was Pokemon on that weird Sega edutainment unit.

Edit: yep, the pico

Mr.Saturn

Yup, spot on. I might've overshot it a bit by calling'em games.

Potential-Monke

Easy one:

What does Destiny Abhor?

Sh*t, I thought of that but presumed it must have been after Sonic 1

It's a hardcore "pub" quiz alright

And like a pub quiz, I think you'd need a few drinks to jog the memory/make you think your answer is right.

Only Star Trek game I played that I thought was quite good was Star Trek Voyager Elite Force but it doesn't sound like something from that game or else I don't remember it.

S**t.
Sorry didn't realise I had to post a question.

Ok then.
Which legendary C64 music composer has a famous Irish musician uncle?

Probably too easy for here.
