Even after playing this game several times, I find writing a review difficult. I am sure everyone knows the game, but just in case, I'd better explain it. You have a board covered in numbers, which you cross off when they are called. The first person to cover a line in any direction or the four corners of the board wins.

This program allows you to play four boards and gives you the option to use the Currah Speech 64 to call the numbers. You have the further option of up to 99 people playing. However, as you can only see four cards displayed, this exercise seemed pointless.

On screen is a set of numbers. Should your card win and your lucky numbers match, you could go on to win real money. You have to record your entry on the reverse of the cassette and send it off to Tynesoft to be entered in that month's draw.

All things considered, I can't see the point in this program. Anyone wanting to play Bingo can find a live game nearby, with instant prizes.
