    Okay last one as I need to go and do some work

    This one kind of went under the radar a bit at the time, but it was a brilliantly constructed and totally original game.

    My brother was (and still is) a total computer nerd. He bought a ZX81 back when they first came out. 1K of memory !

    I remember him saving up to buy a 16k expansion pack, and we played a game called 3D monster maze.

    A total ****ing revelation back in 1983 !

    If you got a go at that in my junior school you had been impeccable behaviour wise....... I got on there once and enjoyed killing my frog under car and lorry wheels.

    Now look what you've started @Spurlock lol.

    Right, can't leave this thread without posting this one.

    Match Day <ok>

    Even remember in the instructions, it spoke about the game having 'diamond edge' technology, so that the ball would deflect off of players in 8 different ways.

    Next level shiz !

    That’s not very nice to call your girlfriend a Goblin bro. <whistle>

    Only joking Fos, so no need to go off on one.

    Had that Hobbit game too, my one came with the novel too, which is where I first read it. Remember the game being hugely frustrating when you were in the Goblin caves trying to find your way out and the little ****ers kept locking you in that dungeon !

    Match Day was good as a 2 player as the AI was pretty basic and you could pretty much batter teams 8-0 most times. So playing your mates always threw some unknowns into the equation.
