      Elite for the C64 was the biggie for me until years later Doom on PC

        Doom was ok

        but before that I loved Rebelstar Raiders, Lords of midnight and a neat little game called Chaos

              Probably Kingdom on the school BBC Micro. By "playing" I mean there was about 35 of us crowded round this new magical thing called a "computer".
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                There was one game.
                boogered if I can remember what it was called

                you were a burgular, you planned all your moves into the bank, avoiding the guards and the dogs and the sensors
                then you busted the vault and made your getaway.

                then you clicked 'go' and watched all your team start their moves, then watched as your plans turn to ruin as the guards spotted you and you were arrested and taken away

                  We had 'TV games' that pre-dated computer games. Basically a knob you turned to move a paddle (or set of paddles for football) up and down while the ball bounced backwards and forwards. We had the lightgun for Skeet too, but that stopped working after my sister dropped it. Took it to the tip a couple of years before ebay took off, and saw one going for a fortune!

                    ...Or are these simply reminisces of teenage years spent in a borstal?
