Chart Challenge is a pop quiz containing over 60,000 questions covering every artiste who has had a hit record in the UK between 1952 and 1985, as well as personalities, lyrics and albums.

Players can select one of four formats for Chart Challenge which can be a one or two player game. The timed quiz is probably the better of these versions with any time up to 60 minutes allowed for each player.

Players can select any period between 1952 and 1985 on which to answer questions, but must select a span of at least five years.

There are a few minor niggles with the program (especially where abbreviations are concerned), but with a 60,000 question database, you would expect a few anomalies, and I don't think these detract too much from the general enjoyment of the game.

The quiz may seem expensive at £17.95, but it is supplied on three 80 track discs, five 40 track discs or five cassettes, containing a total of 720K of data.

Overall, I enjoyed the game, and was able to polish up on my knowledge of the pop world. This is certainly another game to be recommended for Christmas.
