Science Fiction Quiz

How does your knowledge of Science Fiction rate against a Grandmaster of the genre? This rewarding and compelling program for your BBC Model B or Acorn Electron computer has been specially adapted from the Weidenfield Quiz book and will provide hours of edification and amusement for family and friends.

This is a quiz about science fiction in its wildest sense, including such modern masters of the indefinable as Jorge Luis Borges as well as the main-liners like Frank Herbert, Arthur Clarke, Philip K. Dick, H. G. Wells, Fredrick Pohl, and the new school of SF film-makers.

Science fiction is one of a series of six Grandmaster Quizzes, in which you can pit your knowledge against that of a grandmaster of the subject. The writer's specialised skill and expert knowledge makes the quiz both challenging and exciting. Each program has thirty sections of ten questions - a massive 300 questions in all - and you can take the quiz alone, in competition with a friend, or in teams. You can choose a timed option too - and if you're getting too many of the answers right, your computer can reduce the time you have to answer!

This pack contains one program cassette, one quiz data cassette and an instruction booklet."
