Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For those of you have ever wanted to sit in the Mastermind chair, BBC Multimedia bring you Mastermind, the computerised version of the classic quiz. The big black chair is not supplied, but otherwise this is a complete TV show on a disk.
After a few words of introduction from our host, each contender (you can play alone or with up to three friends) is instructed to enter his or her name and gender, and select a subject from the "subject dial". The 10 subjects are The Natural World, Literature & Language, Leisure & Entertainment, History, Art & Music, Science, Geography, The Classical World, Religion and Famous People. Each of these subjects is divided into several more specific subjects. It is also possible to create a custom subject, by choosing questions from a database of over 5,000 questions. Once the contest has begun, each contender takes his or her turn in the virtual chair. Questions come in the form of multiple choice, with three potential answers appearing gradually from left to right.
This is about as slick as a computer package can get. The display is eerily dark, with icons that fade in from the shadows when you pass over them with the mouse. A digitised Magnus Magnusson asks the questions, his crumbly voice telling you off when you get it wrong. When the buzzer sounds at the end of the two minutes, he even speaks those immortal lines: "I've started so I'll finished". Most excitingly of all, that terrifying Mastermind theme tune is present in full. --Daren King
Manufacturer's Description
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit in the famous Mastermind chair? Well, this is your chance!
Television's ultimate general knowledge challenge is the most thrilling, demanding interactive quiz yet developed. This Mastermind disk accurately reflects the pressure of time and judgement associated with the well-known TV programme. Up to four contestants take the chair in each game, face two minutes of specialised questions on a topic of their choice, and two minutes of general knowledge questions. If you don't know the answer you can "pass" on a question, have it read again, or guess from a choice of three slowly revealing options. All questions are read by Magnus Magnusson. That family gathering, party or night in will never be the same again.
