321 Family Quiz

Everything is thrown into this blatant attempt at exploiting YTV's inexplicably successful TV show. Ted Rogers narrates the instructions and presents each section on the tape, and a wide range of prizes from toy Dusty Bins to a seven day holiday in Spain is up for grabs.

The program is in three sections and will operate on all Spectrums including the few 16K versions still in existence; no source of possible sales has been overlooked!

Section one is the quiz part and three families take turns in answering general knowledge questions by pressing True or False. Section two is a simple arcade sequence and section three is a lucky dip, with not even the convoluted clues of the original TV program to 'help'.

Fans of 321 will possibly find something of interest here and so might avaricious individuals, although it is worth pointing out that even if you achieve everything possible you do not get the prize but only an entry in the 'Grand Draw' for these prizes. It is realistic in that the game has the same effect on me as the TV show... I fell asleep!

Personally, I think this program would be better stuffed into Dusty Bin!
