Not sure why I'm posting this because I dont think any of you remember it. :( Over 30? I'm only 27 and my dad got us one of these, though it was probably for himself. I remember this one disk with a naked lady on it :O
Lots of great games, my first computer, good times.

One of the games, apart from the odd educational one, was called Mines or Dennis in the Mines, I forget.
BBC B's etc were replaced by RM Nimbus 186 and then RM Windowbox - Ist Windows operating system 3.1 - what a joy that was.
I had a book where it gave you all the script to make little games. It had BBC and Spectrum games in it. There was a good little horse (star) racing game.

Not related to above but when we updated to RM Windowbox, we worked hard to install and play 'Captain Keen', one hell of a game then and another 'Tank...something' - can't remember!
I had a few games and two of my all time favourites were on the BBC: Citadel and Imogen. Other greats I remember were the Repton series, Zalaga, Galactica, Elite (of course), Exile and the frustratingly brilliant Thrust
