THE GAMESHOW GAMESHOW!!!

Live from your computer terminal it's the Gameshow Gameshow! And here's your host Niiiiiiiick Gates!

Oh stop it, you're too kind.

No, I really mean it now. You're so much better than last week's audience!

This is the Gameshow Gameshow where you can test your gameshow knowledge for fun and no profit. There are no prizes, but you can rate yourself against the originally titled 'Score-o-meter' at the very end.

There are 9 rounds. Usually they have five questions each, they are worth varying points (from 1-5, the more points, the more trivial.) The format is like this. Every time I update my page I will put on a new round. You must keep your answers on some paper until I print all the answers after the final round. You may not research the topics and write down your answers as you see the questions. Got that? Good.

Answers to come soon!.

So, without further ado, lets get on with Round 1.
