It has come to my attention recently that when I start my computer each day it can be very boring and dull and I am sure many of you have also noticed this and sometimes cannot be bothered switching it on at times because there is nothing to look forward too and can't be bothered waiting for it to start up.

Well here is SHEEPY's idea of making your computer start up a bit more interesting how about for every day of the year you have a new game to play just after your computer has started. And while your computer is loading the title of the game could appear making you look forward to it starting up. The game you play i am not talking like a massive game just a sort of a small game like space invaders, pinball, card game etc. just to make things a bit more fun.

Another idea of mine but has not much to do with gaming is you could have a small animated character which you could program to appear while loading up asking " How are you today (name entered here)?" and then they could dance around or something.

Anyway there was just a short idea to make those boring loading days seem a bit more interesting I am sure many of you would like the idea of this!

All those that had Ghostbusters on the C64, or something simular, should know of a little game that you could play while you waited for the game to load. It was space invaders... and because Ghostbusters was such a superb game, the added bonus of being able to play another good game while you waited was superb.

Bring back games while loading! I'll start the petition...
