Sadly there is almost nothing on the web regarding Nutting's Computer Quiz except a lot of indications that it was not a very successful game. Therefore I will recount the story of of how Nolan Buchnell found out about the gaming manufacturer in his own words....

"I had a dentist appointment and my dentist had another patient who worked at Nutting & Associates. I was chatting with the dentist through a mouthful of cotton about what I was working on. He said you should talk to this guy. And that's how I first heard about Nutting. They were a company who had done one product and were in trouble. They were not particularly successful at that time; they were looking for anything, so they jumped at it. Maybe a stronger company would not have taken the risk."
