Trivial Pursuit: DVD Pop Culture Trivia Game Rules and Review
The addition of a DVD helps Trivial Pursuit: DVD Pop Culture improve on the series a bit but not enough to rise above mediocrity.

Trying to bank on the popularity of Monopoly, Parker Brothers released the game The Inventors in 1974. While far from perfect, The Inventors is one of the better roll and move games that I have played.
In 1965 Parker Brothers created the classic game Booby-Trap. Until recently I had never played the game before. The game is a decent distraction despite being highly reliant on luck.
Despite your pleas of innocence, you have been locked in a deep dark dungeon. You need to try and escape from the dungeon before it is too late. With your trusty dice, you need to roll your way to safety. While Dungeon Dice is not a terrible game, it is far from original.
In 1970 Parker Brothers tried to create their own version of air hockey with the game Buckshot. Buckshot is billed as the “world’s fastest indoor game.” Unfortunately the game is slower than advertised and is just plain boring.
Scrabble Upwords (or Upwords as it was originally called) is a game where you try to build words with tiles. Unlike Scrabble though you are able to build words by stacking tiles on top of tiles already on the board. While Scrabble Upwords is not a fantastic game, I think it is a very solid word game.
In 1987 Parker Brothers created a game called Instant Replay. In the game players create designs using up to eight tiles that the other players try to re-create as quickly as possible. While the idea had some potential, the game fails to be anything more than a short distraction.
Do you like tennis but are too lazy to actually go out and play a game of real tennis? In 1975 Parker Brothers decided to create a card game based on tennis called Tennis The Smashing Card Game. While it relies too heavily on luck, Tennis the Smashing Card Game is a solid tennis card game.
Roll and move games in general are not very good. They lack having any strategy and rely entirely on luck. With Roller Coaster’s unique theme I was hoping that would be different. While Roller Coaster actually succeeds at being better than most roll and move games, it is still far from a good game.
When I was a child I remember loving to play the game Pizza Party. After many years, I decided to try the game again. Unfortunately Pizza Party has aged poorly.
