    Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition, or simply Trivial Pursuit is a video game interpretation of the board game with the same name. It was released for the Sega Master System exclusively in Europe in 1992.

    While Domark held the license to publisher Trivial Pursuit games for a number of years, this particular video game adaption is unique to the Master System. A different version was released for a variety of home computers between 1986 and 1988, while an Amiga CD32 and CDTV variant, which makes use of CD-ROM technology, would debut in 1994. All three are similar in that they adapt the same board game, but the questions and presentation style differ between the versions.

    Trivial Pursuit would be adapted again for the Sega Mega-CD as Trivial Pursuit: Interactive Multimedia Game.
