Editor note

I was suprised to find this once commercial game amidst many shareware/freeware games on a CD-ROM from Softgold from around 1994. On the cover the box only claims to have Tennis Cup 2 as commercial software on it ("Topshots on CD - Tennis Cup 2"); and besides that over 400 MB of freeware games and tools. This is a typical case of a company publishing a freeware collection without really having taken their time to thoroughly check the games to be free or not.

Extra funny is the readme-file which says: "Since the author provided no documentation, we're adding a word here. This is a great game! When you're ready to "buzz" your buzzer and try to answer the question (or question the answer), just use your SPACE BAR. Everything else is so explanatory, even I can figure it out." - Yeah... well maybe there was no "documentation" because it came as a printed manual ;-)
