Have you googled?:

Don't use quotes!

An ultra simple one: http://www.techlib.com/electronics/games.html

The first one should do exactly what you described.

The one further down the page is what I used as a basis for one I built many years ago, with 6 stations, for our Biology Department for per-final prep quizzes. Attached. Now it moves around campus, and periodically to another college.

I would love to make it wireless.
