"Remembering the BBC Micro"

BBC

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.

I remember there was a educational game with dragons. No idea what that was called.

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.

What was that Geography one called where you had to locate the capital cities? I always wanted to play that one!

I installed the first BBC B in school back in the early 80's. We then acquired a BBC Master - slightly bigger machine. You actually had to install a chip to provide a word processing capability. Happy days learning and teaching BBC Basic - typing line after line of basic to achieve very little!

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.

Yeah, used to use it at school. I remember some of the educational games being good fun. I can't remember any of the names of the games though.

We had one in primary school. Loved it
