Overview
Quiz Tonosama no Yabou ("Quiz Feudal Lord's Ambition") is a Japan-only quiz game originally made for the Arcades. It uses a Sengoku era strategy game to frame the quizzes, with each quiz being an invasion of neighboring states. The player must answer a sufficient number of questions dependent on the region in order to successfully take it over; too many wrong answers will cause the game to end.
The game was released to Arcades by Capcom themselves. It was eventually ported to the PC Engine CD-ROM (TurboGrafx-CD), Mega CD (Sega CD) and NEC PC-9801 home computer, each with a different publisher (Hudson, SIMS and SystemSoft respectively).
Though it was never released outside of Japan, the game is known to western gaming audiences due to its appearance on the Japanese video game show GameCenter CX. The host memorably got various staff members with specialty subjects involved to help him answer the trivia questions successfully.
