I.  INTRO AND NOTES
-------------------

Fax is a quiz game developed by Exidy and released in 1983. Even by today's
standards, these questions are quite hard, and that is my motivating reason
behind producing the only FAQ for the game. This FAQ solely provides the
answers for most, if not all, of the questions in the game.

Believe it or not, some arcades still have this machine laying around, waiting
to be dusted off for another go-round. If you have the quarters to spare, Fax
is a great way to test your knowledge of history, sports, entertainment, or
for a huge challenge, a mix of all three.

II.  VERSION HISTORY
--------------------

Updates, addtions, corrections, whatever. You'll find that kind of stuff here.

v. 1.0 - April 13, 2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow. 20 years after the games initial release, there is finally a Q&A FAQ for
the game. Anyways, this is the first version of the FAQ, and the only
updates for it will be if people send me questions I miss or if I find
questions that I may have missed. Other than that, this FAQ is complete.

Any addtions to this FAQ may be sent to [email protected]. I'll post the question
and answer here most likely, as long as it really is in the game... :p
