What: “Box Score” CD sports trivia game

Price: $19.95 (Plus $5 for shipping)

Here’s a great computer game, with easier questions than the “Jeopardy” computer game if you’re sports fan and easier to play because you don’t have to click in and then type in your answer. You can play against a friend or a computer opponent. When it’s your turn, you have 15 seconds. The 2,300 questions range from easy to difficult, but if you know sports you’ll do OK. The game was invented by Tom Merritt, former head of publicity for NBC Sports. A free demo can be downloaded from www.boxscoressportstrivia.com.
