Bridge Player appears to us presented in a very solid cardboard box, accompanied by the original instruction manual in English and the disc with the game. To start playing it is necessary to first load the CP/M+ and, after inserting the game disc, type BRIDGE.

The program is quite fast. You can choose between five different game speeds, from extremely fast to extremely slow.

The human player is always south, and his hand is always shown on the right of the screen, with the statement on the left. To declare we must write two characters, the first being the level (1 to 7) and the second the first letter of the suit (in English, this is “H” for hearts, “D” for diamonds, “C” for clubs and “N” for spades. We can also indicate “D” (Double), “R” (Redouble), <SPACE> (do not declare) and “E” (receive a new hand). The game of the other three players runs on behalf of the computer.

The attached manual explains the rules and conventions followed in this version of Bridge.

The graphics are good, giving perfect expression of the cards that the human player has. It is good entertainment for fans of this popular card game.
