The Computer Quiz

The Computer Quiz is a video game in the educational genre and published by Softdisk Publishing originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on DOS.

Another excellent ASCII game by Scott Miller of Apogee game, Computer Quiz was included in Softdisk's 'Big Blue Disk' issue #21. Here is a summary of the plot and gameplay extracted from the game's instructions:

OK, you've bought a PC, or at least begged, borrowed or stolen the use of one to run BIG BLUE DISK. But how much do you really know about computers? This quiz lets you test your computer knowledge, to see if you can get into the inner circle of computing. While you're at it, you might even learn something about how your PC works'.

If you like quiz games, you'll like this game. As always, Scott Miller has a knack for making seemingly banal or commonplace concepts seem interesting, and there is no exception with his trivia games. All the questions are either interesting or entertaining, or both, and you're guaranteed to learn something new when you're done ;) There is no time limit, and with 100 questions, it will take you at least a few hours to finish the game.

Try the three games in their trivia series (Computer Quiz, IBM Basic Quiz and Astronomy Quiz): they are highly recommended.
