Hi Stolt; wasn't that game called Repton? I don't want to get my fond memories mixed up!

it might of been on another format, i could have sworn it was boulderdash on the acorn, maybe it was repton on the older format and i remember seeing it a few years ago as a pc game and it was definatley called boulderdash then.

COMMANDO, what a game!!! Think i still dream about it most nights.

I remember completing commando and then it just started again from the beginning, only a bit faster. I was really disappointed!

Repton the lizard is an instantly recognisable icon to any BBC or Electron owner, mainly because in sprite form he was enormous. His job was to push boulders over ledges, escape from (or squash) bug-eyed monsters and pick up diamonds to escape from each level. Rocks, diamonds and monsters conspired to make the original game's 12 levels the most interesting and colourful challenge to hit the BBC's screen to date, and its ragtime music became the soundtrack to many childhoods: around 125,000 over its five-year peak. It was the player's intelligence and reflexes versus the level designer's cunning. 'Can you finish Repton?' challenged the adverts. Was it just a Boulderdash rip-off? It seems unfair given that Tyler (still) has never played Boulderdash.

i used to have a Commodore plus 4 and a commodore vic 20.....now i dont remember which machine the game i loved was on but the general theme was to guide a bouncing ball thru levels avoiding holes, and other things that kiled ya? any ideas folks?

also had a PHILIPS G7000 - it was a biggish setup with cartridge games that had the handle built in....was a fun computer at the time i seem to remember

Bounder? It was a top view game where you controlled a tennis ball. Addictive but very frustrating.

Head over Heals is my favourite game of all time.

Sounds like trailblazer.
