What was this game?

Hey all, I've just had a vague memory of an old BBC game I used to play and I can't remember what it was called.

There was a wire frame, all in one plane (a geometric plane that is :rolleyes: ), with junctions between perpendicular lines and some of the lines had gaps in them. You had to travel along these lines with this little ball-type thing and.... and... well I don't remember what the point in the game was but I think you were avoiding something that was chasing you (a bit like pac-man) and trying to get somewhere at the same time.

Like I said, it's a very vague memory :rolleyes: Anyone got any idea what I'm on about?

Have you been eating those mushrooms at the bottom of the garden again?

Sadly, I can't remember the name of the game either!!! I know the one you are talking about too!!! :mad: Damn thats irritating!

Sounds a bit like part of Tron, Harry.

:rolleyes: Sorry I have no recollection of it and I used to have loads of BBC B games.

Thanks Active, but I really don't remember the name of the game, just the look and feel of playing it... I remember moving along light blue lines...

I remember the game you're talking about...I think I still have it somewhere :) Will have to crank out the old Master :)

And yes, Granny's Garden was the best :) Damn those dragons were hard to get past :rolleyes:

I think we may have had enough barley wine for today Harry:rolleyes:

Whoa man... my hands... they're so big...

Not sure of the game still, just found this : http://www.worcestermass.com/80s/games/index.shtml :D

My God!!! They have Hunt the Wumpus. This was the first game I ever had. It didn't look anything as good as that one, oweing to the fact that it ran on a 3k Hewlett Packard Data Logger, with only a single 26 character display for output (It took up half the dinning room table, dad used to take it home from work to learn programming). I typed it in from one of those big book of basic games sort of thingies!!!! I think that was about 1977.

I spent ages trying to map the caves out until I realised that it was actually a mobias strip (a one sided shape), which at 8 years old caused my mind to implode in gooey plop.

This explains a lot SD:p

:p

Of course a few years later other things would cause me to explode in a gooey plop, but we'd better not mention those magazines :p

SD

Hehehehe :) That's sick.......

I suspected as much..........gooey plop is such a wonderfully descriptive phrase btw....a true linguist indeed!

Yes, SD is a cunning linguist... :p

once again, Katie sets them up and Parksie knocks them down!!!!!!!!:D

Mmm, I don't think so, but I have flown air-lingus a few times. You've got to admire a country that calls it's national airline that!! Never tried it myself though, it sounds somewhat acrobatic. :)

Tee Hee Hee. Any ladies need licking into shape??

SD

Not a member of the mile high club then? Too bad....it's quite fun!

Well, it depends how technical you want to be.....

Calgary is almosty a mile above sea-level, and Banff certainly is....


... but on an airplane... not yet... :)


SD

It's one of those "element of danger" additions that make it sooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!!

The "you could get caught" part is definitely enticing... :p

Some of the women I've slept with have frightened me. Does that count as element of danger??? And there is also the danger of being caught with a skank by your flat-mates?

That's exactly what I mean Parksie! No, SD, I don't think I've ever been in that type of danger before......doesn't sound all that enticing either but, whatever works for you:rolleyes: :D

Yep :)

Once again we have managed to turn a perfectly rational thread into a smut-fest...........we're hopeless:rolleyes:

I'd say there's great hope for us...if they manage to strap us into the psychotherapist's chair in time :p

That wouldn't be any fun for us at first but the psychotherapist would have a field day!!!!!!!!! He could retire and write a book and make millions....which of course he's share with us and we could retire (oh, yeah you're a student:rolleyes: ) but anyway I could retire and spend my time worshipping the sun god with Tom!!!!!!!!:D

I could retire before I even started work :p

That cinches it.......we definitely need to continue with the nonsense if our devious plan is going to succeed!!!!! Let the smut continue!!!!!!!!!!:D

td's having a bit of an extended birthday :p

He pops in from time to time still.........err....pops into the forum I mean:)

The affair still going well then? :D

The affair in my twisted mind is going smashingly!!! We've had some weird and wonderous times......which you are much to young for me to describe to you....you'll just have to let your imagination run wild!:p

Letting my imagination run wild is probably more psychologically damaging than you describing it :rolleyes:

I guess you'll just have to ask td then........;) While you're at it tell him to put down that beer(or whatever that is in his hands) and come chat with us!!!!!!

Possibly...don't know if I'm quite ready for that yet ;)

It may be safer to wait until you're at least 18....don't want to complete corrupt you too early!:eek:

Okay...2 1/2 months to go :)

It is illegal to describe things to you until you're eighteen....at least in the state of California...you are still a minor....young girls your age are commonly referred to as jail bait by the perverted old men who don't have any better taste:rolleyes:

Looks like the facts of life decided not to visit California then :rolleyes:

It's pretty much illegal to do anything fun under the age of eighteen here......you can go to jail for doing anything fun with anyone under the age of eighteen too!:eek:

That sucks. 16 here :D

Nope....that's illegal too:rolleyes:

:mad:

You'll just have to be patient for 2 1/2 months.......no mad red faces allowed on a Friday!!!!!!!!!

Yep ;) Although I don't have to be patient over here :D:D:D

Well, if you can't be patient at least be careful!

Poor Parksie, still a minor... mind you I would probably get IDed if it wasn't for the beard and hairy chest... kind of gives my age away.

I guess noone remembers the name of the game then? :rolleyes:

The only thing it brings to mind is Tron...sorry Harry.

So you should be, this just isn't good enough! Now get down and give me thirty!

*Waits for the comments*

Believe me thirty is much more than you could handle!

Hmm, I smell a challenge, but it's kind of destined to lie unproven either way :rolleyes:

Anyway, if you look back at the instruction, that really depends on how you take it.

*waits*

30 what???

30 lashings with the tongue and mouth
30 push ups
30 years old, by that she means you can't handle her
30 seconds of unbridal sex
30 minutes of mad passinate sex
30 kicks in the nards
30 kisses on the (you know where)
30 DDD cups at your disposal

:D :D

Either way sounds fun :) Well, more fun than stabbing scissors into your crotch anyway :rolleyes:

*Hmmmm* I dunno, that's a tough one.......

Where did I put those scissors?

You left them in...that's why people have been looking at your nuts funny.

Ahh well of course I didn't notice because I always have a huge bulge in my trousers, and you know what people are like, they will stare :rolleyes:
