On the beeb - classic. As was Elite.

I've never tried making hummus but you have inspired me to have a crack. I've just come back from hols in Portugal and had a crack at caldo verde last night after sampling some of this delicious soup. It was very nice and highly recomended.

Any recipe that starts with

"First, drink some port - it helps you get in the mood!"

sounds good to me. I'll give that one a go.

Any good Portoguese wines while you were there that you could recommend?

I played it on an Acorn Electorn, along with Football Manager (best ever was the sounds it made when a goal was scored), Jet Set Willy, Pacman, and various other games whose names I have forgotten.

You used to be able to play Defender on the Beeb - that was good.

Tempest was another arcade game I liked.

Lunar Landing was cool (the old black and white vector wireframe gfx) with the big thrust burn lever.

Anybody remember Zybex or Beachead???

[RSoles]

I'm sadder than you contest.....

Advent (little bird, cage, maze of twisty little passageways all alike)
and trek (Shall we ram him captain?)
on an intel MDS 800 running under ISIS-II.

First job, 1979 BTW

Both still available in basic source out there in the ether....

Then 'HACK' in the eighties..

Original D&D (a group of us started writing our own rules before the game ever got to the UK), AD&D, Space Opera and Traveller.

Ah - Attack ships burning off the Shoulder of Orion - those were the days

We used to have a cocktail recipe book with one in it called "The Governor of Jamaica's Cocktail" - the recipe starts, "First empty and clean your fish-pond......" All measures are in hogsheads.

Now that's what I call a party!

Blimey...all this talk of "nostalgic gaming sessions"...

Some of us still play you know. Almost every week as well.

Started D&D when I was 14, and still playing weekly 24 years later. With almost the same people, with a few new additions (like the Missus).

In that time, I think I've played and DM'ed most systems. Particular favourites being CoC, Shadowrun, D&D (all versions), WFRP, Judge Dredd, In Nomine.

We're currently campaigning in Shadowrun, and next year we will revert back to D&D D20 Eberron.

But the lure of World of Warcraft is a hard one to resist...so far so good though.

Honestly....lightweights the lot of you !
