Granny's garden was what we used on the three BBC B's that we had at school. But, we had a choplifter clone on a disk hidden in the cupboard. Good times!

[rcantor77]

I only had a couple of games on the Micro when I was at school... Spy Hunter and Repton (4 of them)

The game I used to love the most on the BBC micro was the gam known as "miss, can we go and do stuff on the computer and pretend we're learning sh*t instead of doing our maths lessons"? For some reason we were allowed to. No real idea why. Actual spent quite a lot of time playing some text based maze game on the Research Machines 380Z.

Probably the main reason I only scraped a CSE maths. Along will all the other non educational things I used to get up to instead of actually doing work.

I never owned a BBC so can't really comment (I have a super tricked out Master now though), but I did used to love Snapper whenever I went anywhere that it was on.

12 posts and nobody mentions chuckie egg?

I remember playing a lot of strykers run despite the fact it was utter crap.

cholo seemed amazing at the time but a bit sparse now.

firetrack, a vaguely aimless shooter with good music

the sentinel

revs

thrust, frak, elite, manic miner.

tanks and dogfight for some good pvp action

 

[LAZORIAN]

I remember buying frak when it came out,
I played it a couple of weeks ago on my housemates beeb (on disk).
Also liked gorf, crazy painter, danger uxb, zaxxon, defender & space panic (not sure of their names now) plus many others. I loved my beeb back in the day.

 

[petercasino]

It had the best version of Chuckie Egg!

 

[mr_ppp]

Repton and Citadel I remember vividly as well as a game I think was called the Phantom of Fleet street or something like that where you worked for a newspaper and had to solve some sort of mystery! Gutted my cousins chucked out their huo BBC B (dad was in finance in the 80s so minted!)
