Jordan at UGO brought this up today and the memories all came flooding back. I was an obsessive fact reader as a kid and loved games and quizzes so I really wanted a “Quiz Wiz”. I never did get one, but I got a nice set of Funk & Wagnall Encyclopedia that served me all the way through High School.
I still have the Quiz Whiz, along with a second question book.
These were translated for my french-language region.
Great family fun.
Also had the grey Mego 1979 2-XL robot with its 8-track quiz tape.
That was also fully frenchified, but I’d be curious to grab the original language tape.
WOW! I remember those, too! The entire ad must be locked away in my brain somewhere, cause I remembered it verbatim almost. Flashback!
Ah, Quiz Whiz. I remember it well.
Had it and a few expansions. It was kind of a pain in the glutes.
