Play it Again, a musical game sold by major retailers Marks & Spencers. A fun game probably sold at Christmas time as part of their gift range. This game would have been quite modern as the questions are all based on TV soaps and films of the time. The players would have had to listen to a section of music on the tape, identify where it came from and answer a set question about the programme or film. Games like this made a comeback in 2004 in a DVD format.
