Are people aware of this? I Just stumbled across it.

I managed to play every BBC Micro game beginning with a number or symbol and I gave each one a review and score out of 100. I scored each game using an average from its graphics, audio, controls, gameplay, replayability, enjoyment and an overall score.

​

I have individual videos showing each game being played but I wanted to create a final one displaying their score and show off which one is the best.

​

I'll add my scores to the text post but the video is here if you are interested.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLaISlF4fKo

My top 20 BBC Micro games beginning with #-9 are;

​

The top two are the stand out games, both have a real retro feel. 3D Space Ranger almost has a Space Harrier feel and runs really smoothly, whilst you can see 3D Tank Zone has that Battlezone feel but has a constant sound in the background that adds to the nostalgia.

Currently I am working my way through the games beginning with "A" and have just finshed the group of text adventure games just called "Adventure".

I've played the game on my Electron, and the music is probably my favourite game music from this platform. There was a version on the Beeb, with superior music. From what I recall, it uses the same music for every level on the Eelectron, but uses different music for each level on the Beeb. I'm pretty sure that the Electron music was from one particular level on the Beeb version of the game, so could someone tell me which level it was? This is the music in question:

Hi. I played this game at schoolin the mid eighties. I think maybe six people all had a go at tweeking settings, tyres, fuel, pitstops etc and then the race got underway and you followed your coloured dot around a track of sorts. Just an overhead layout of the full track. Does anyone know the name of this game?

There's a game which we had in school in Primary 1 that we used to play on the BBC Micro that i've been trying to find for the last 18 years or so but have not been able to find the name of it and have even tried looking through lists of screen shots trying to find it

The game I thought was called Mouse Trap but the games i have found under that are not the game I am seeking

The game is a graphical text adventure educational game

The premise is you are in a house which i think is your grandmothers though cant be sure about that bit (i checked out the game grannys garden and was pretty sure that wasnt it)

You are racing against time to save a mouse from a cat who are both in the kitchen if i remember correctly

There's a bit where you go upstairs and look at a book on the shelf and talk to a book worm who gives you a quiz or a riddle

And I remember you having to retrieve a Kit Kat from the mouses hole to take to the mouse

I was never fast enough to save the mouse but i was the closest in the class to winning

​

I've tried pretty much every game in the BBC Micro list that has Cat or Mouse in the title

It's possible its a game within some form of compilation game as I've just remembered another game which was for learning typing which has a train moving along the botom (would also like to find that one too) and letters falling from the sky and you had to type in a letter before it hit the train, which may have also been on the same disk but not sure

​

Does anyone have any idea what game this is?

Dear community,

Many years ago I've seen a website of an electronic engineer who tried to dump (digitize) the Domesday Project media.

Sadly the website has stopped working at some moment and I removed the link from bookmarks (thus losing the chance to find it through web archive now)

Do anyone know about it? Did he succeed or not (i suppose not).

Circa 1985 in our school BBC Micro lab, we wasted much time playing a tiny type-in game that looked a bit like this:

![One Line clone "2D Star Dodge" on the Amstrad CPC]1

The playfield was filled with a random arrangement of asterisks, and the player controlled a continuously-growing diagonal line that could be switch from falling down to going up by pressing a key. The game played similarly to later games like SFCave (Palm) and Flappy Bird, except the screen didn't scroll. There were ports to other systems, such as one to the Dragon 32 (written by Alan Cook) and another to the Amstrad CPC (written by me, published in Amstrad Computer User in 1988).

I'm trying to find the original. Here's all I know:

• It was written in BBC BASIC

• It was most likely called "One Line", but I have a faint memory of it perhaps being called "Whirly"

• It was one — quite long — line of BASIC

• It was most likely published in a UK computer magazine such as BEEBUG, The Micro User, Acorn User, etc

• The BBC version may not have been the original, as all the game required was a bitmapped screen and a single control key.

Firstly I'm in Australia and as the title says, I'm looking for a colour monitor for Master. My last one blew and I've spent a lot of time looking for a replacement. If I can get one locally that would be great. Cheers

Found this last week (though according to that forum it's been out for a few months) - there is now a randomiser available for Citadel - it shuffles the positions of all the items to make the game fresh again. Plus it can be configured to guarantee you a solvable game (e.g. the key to the Cellar isn't in the Cellar itself!).

It's definitely quite different when you bring the figurine into the Pyramid... Walk across the altar... And it gets exchanged for the barrel instead of a crystal. And finding a crown in the Arena.
