1987 Leisure Genius (UK)
by John Mullins, Allistair Watt, Clive Paul and Elliot Gay
A bit of a disapointment. It looks good, plays good and has an incredible well crafted tune in the opening, but its a bit too confusing and not that interesting.
Mind you this is inspired by the Hasbro board game with the same name. That's probably the problem, maybe it would be more fun would it be played with organic materials rather than a video game. To be frankly I didnt played it that much, I usually like this sort of games, but so far I find it a bit boring.

This is a interesting one, not quite your typical questions and answers game. Some of the questions are challenging and really pushes the senses and boundaries, with topics such as if a photographer gave you royal nudes would you post them on your paper and if you saw your daughter dating a boy of another colour, would you encourage them to date boys of her own race. Basically, if you run out of question cards you win, I can't help but feel confused because it means you're going to get wrong answers deliberately so that they don't win, not entirely sure if that's Hasbro's fault for designing it that way or Leisure Games' fault for porting it that way. It's not a bad game really, it just doesn't have any replay value for me, once you finish one game would you want to play another game? Also, you set stats at the beginning of the game which doesn't seem to have any effect on the game itself, except for when you realise how incorrectly your stats were at the end.
