What is Bingo•Bingo•Bingo?

No matter how you skin it, even multiplayer, multilevel Bingo is just, well. Bingo. So unless you’re already an avid player, Bingo•Bingo•Bingo won’t hold your attention for very long.

With its polished interface and pinball-style sound effects. Bingo•Bingo•Bingo contains about 100 different winning patterns. The variety of boards, player options, and speed settings can make the game absurdly easy or quite difficult. Set the game to mark the card and call “Bingo!” for you. Or you can play on up to six cards at once, against as many as 100 computer opponents. Crank up the speed, and you’ve got a real test of hand-eye coordination. Do resist the urge to take on the whole hall, though, as Bingo becomes curiously difficult when you play against too many opponents.

And is a Mac game really a game without multiplayer functionahty? Clicking the Internet Bingo button brings you out of the program and to the BingoStop.com Web site (http://www.bingostop.com), where you can chat with other players and play Bingo for fun and prizes. (Hint: Aggressive, Unreal-style chat alienates the nice folks.) Keno and Solitaire also come bundled on the CD.

MacSoft did a thorough job of bringing this classic game to the Mac, but once the novelty wears off, you’re no more likely to play it than to visit a real-life Bingo hall.
