Under influence of Andrew Doull's article "The Power of You" I thought about exploring different ways to promote my favorite roguelike games more. Here is a quiz but it aims more to make unfamiliar reader wonder about the game rather than getting the right answers from veterans. Enjoy!

ZapM: newbie level questions

1) What does a buggy mini computer do with optimized cracked floppy disk of identify?
a) execute it but with a high chance of summoning lawyer
b) fail to execute it
c) eat it
d) execute it but identify only single item despite its optimized status

As far as I've been involved, 1 I think (or maybe it was a disk of something else but the same stati)

2) Pick the odd one out:
a) aquamarine marine
b) low ping bastard
c) stormtrooper
d) high ping bastard

A, the marine is an @ (hero or armored human or something like that)

3) A restraining bolt will not work on:
a) protocol droid
b) clerkbot
c) Cylon Command Centurion
d) astromech droid
e) scrubbot

answer: B, their shoplifting prevention circuits would vaporize it.

4) Which of these items ZapM does not feature:
a) laser cannon
b) cortex crossover
c) portable hole
d) nanotech scalpel
e) phaser rifle

Answer: Either D or E: there is a commented out scalpel, if the phaser is a rifle, it beats me because I'm always confused with phaser and blaster and don't like either.

ZapM: veteran level questions

1) Which of these is NOT contaminating you with radiation constantly?
a) room with mutant human generated
b) gamma ray gun
c) mutagen canister
d) a spot with sludge vat

b if it's not buggy???

2) The night vision power cannot be gained through:
a) some mutation
b) any eye implant
c) targetter goggles

c, duh, that's night vision goggles D:

3) Which of these daemons may not be found at the mainframe?
a) nntp daemons
b) mail daemons
c) ftp daemons
d) cron daemons

answer: *I* didn't find D

4) Which of these actions is possible?
a) writing a hacking program
b) improving armor piece over +5
c) have both programming and unarmed combat skills trained

Answer: I'd said A but perhaps it's mega hard?

ZapM: bonus question

1) You cannot die:
a) during childbirth
b) from a Dalek attack
c) by a transportation accident
d) by decapitation

Answer: D

I'm so much of a fanboi I should be listening to Back Street Boys or something. Ugh. 

[Ancient]

1) c) eat it
The only sure thing a buggy computer does is eat the disk after executing it. AFAIK status does not affect lawyer summoning chance but may be mistaken in that one.

2) You are correct

4) It is d) but you are right. The phaser is a phaser. I should have written laser rifle. Under this circumstances you should get extra score for pointing out my error.

veteran level:

1) Yes, but it may be buggy. Mutagen canisters do not irradiate you until you drink them.

2) Yes, perfect answer.

Well, once I found a canister that continuosly irradiated me... but I don't think I ever identified it. And perhaps it was buggy.
