Ahhh...they don't make 'em like they used to. Take a moment to ponder this little tv gameshow from the 1980s. I adored this show. It was very silly and very strange.

The BBC's Adventure Game:

and the programme's piece de la resistance: The Vortex Game
[note: the explorer on the grid can't see the whooshing vortex:P]

See....there's a reason we're a strange bunch.

Oh. I'm uh . . . supposed to watch the video?

It was just an excuse to vent!

Frogger! Oh I loved that.

Hey...anybody remember the game Blitz? I had it on the Vic20. A plane flying across a city getting lower with each pass. You had to bomb the buildings to make them lower else you'd crash into them

Yeah. They reckoned Crystal maze was inspired by the Adventure Game.
