If you can remember the '90s, you're probably still here! What's more, you'll be excellently placed to take on all-comers at RealArcade's latest version of Trivial Pursuit, which focuses on, yes, the 1990s.

That's the decade when Take That were topping the charts the first time round! When Mick Jagger was marrying Jerry Hall, except not really marrying her at all! And when everyone loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Well, nearly everyone. At least until The Simpsons got going.

Trivial Pursuit the 90s mobileAnyway, we've been playing Trivial Pursuit: The 90s, and thought we'd pick out five questions to test your memories. The game offers questions in categories like The A List, Breaking News, Sound & Vision, and Retail Therapy, and lets up to six players compete by passing the handset. There's even a 3D version, if your phone's up to the task.

Classic mode is the traditional board game, while Time Attack pits you against the clock, scoring more points the faster you answer questions, but with only five lives – wrong guesses – before you're out of the game.

Read on to test your knowledge, and find out more on the game here. Note: we've used the UK version of the game, but the questions are different if you're playing other country versions.

The answers are here – how did you score? If it's any less than three out of five, you need to go to some Britpop cramming classes! But never mind, for RealArcade has another slice of wedgey goodness up its sleeves.

Trivial Pursuit: Genus Edition matches its '90s brother for gameplay modes and graphics, but is an entirely different kettle of fish when it comes to questions. Categories are more traditional: Sport & Leisure, Entertainment, History and the dreaded (chez Pocket Gamer, anyway) Science & Nature.

Meanwhile, warp squares add a new twist to the action, enabling you to roll again or move directly to a wedge square. Read more about the game here, or take our mini-test to see if you're genius enough for Genus.
