2004Topheavy StudiosGlobal Star SoftwareTop

2004 trivia party game from Topheavy Studios — Jeff Spangenberg's only title after Retro Studios and Metroid Prime. Up to four players answer quizzes and play minigames alongside filmed spring-break footage; a 2005 Texas injunction stopped further U.S. distribution.

Collector note

Texas injunction halted official U.S. distribution in 2005 after a participant sued over footage filmed when she was 17.

Facts

  • Topheavy's only game; Spangenberg founded the studio after Nintendo bought Retro Studios.

  • Xbox / PlayStation 2 shipped 31 Aug 2004; Windows followed that December.
