And this is the Gold Run portion of Blockbusters which was omitted from the original game. The premise is the same, you answer questions based on the letters shown on the hexagons and make a connection on the board horizontally, but this time it's multiple letters and thus it's a multi-word answer, so for example COE, a hit single from Dexy's Midnight Riders, the answer is Come On Eileen.

It's practically just the Gold Run bit missing from the first game and that's it. It's good to complete once and then after that what is the point? I suppose you could do it in every skill level which just reduces the amount to time you have to complete it but it only gets repetive very quickly. Also, it is re-written from the original game and looks uglier as a result, surely you could have just copied and pasted the same graphics from rhe first game, since it is basically the same game from the game it's based on! Also the theme tune is different and it's only the end portion but with the duh duh duh duh part removed, why? I had to do it in my head everytime as a compromise. Oh course if you've never seen the show or it wasn't shown in your country and you have no idea what I'm on about you won't understand my gripe, but there we are.

The biggest sting of all is this was sold for more money. YES! The original game was sold for £7.95, this was £9.95, TWO POUNDS MORE! So that's £17.90 for the complete Blockbusters experience and none of them particularly stand out as being any good. Macsen certainly knew how to rip you off with your money.
