I was not aware of variations of the product at the time but apparently there was a four play game version of the Coleco Quiz Wiz and a Star Wars version of the Tiger updated computer.
I am not really sure of the game play of the four player version. I don't know if it allows you to play from a single or multiple quiz books. From the picture that I snagged off eBay it looks like it used a single book for the questions. That is sort of lame I have long thought a trivia game where players each brought topics to the table would make for fun. It would make it so everyone had some topic they knew well. I guess I will have to work on that idea for another post. I have used the basic idea for a music party game I created.
As you can see the updated tiger version is a little different I am not sure how it work with the books from the original. It almost looks like it would not accept the old books but perhaps the old computer would accept the new.
The folks over at hand held museum have a listing with the original books or carts whatever you like to call them
