Electric Bingo series

The Electric Bingo series by Sinclair User are a series of Amidar-clones that are pretty much the same game with the second and third games modified.

All three games are based on A'n'F Software's Painter, they have the same opening tune as painter, the same use of colour and the same sound effects, the only real difference is that the brush in Painter is replaced by a ball and you only have one life in Electric Bingo.

    I never understood Electro-Bingo. Looked like a waste of tape-space to me. Can you explain what it was all about. I never could do anything with it. Painter on the other hand - yes, I played that a bit but don't recall them being similar. All I ever got with SUs game was a load of coloured balls that you couldn't do anything with.

    The inspiration has been added to all 3. I also copied the SPOT and SPEX magazine references to number 2 and 3.

    The fact that only the level data differs makes sense, seeing it was a competition stretching 3 months. ;-)

    Hi Graz. Electro Bingo and Painter are very similar in terms of gameplay, both are Amidar clones.

    The basic gameplay is moving your ball around the circles to light it and light the whole grid to finish the level. I made a video for Painter and upped it to YouTube so that was how I determined both being similar and just had to play Electro Bingo to see for myself.
