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.

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.
