A weekend tenting in a campsite just off-site of the park and the days spent queueing up for the front seats on nemesis and oblivion!!

Oh, AND... 
All of them were replies to post #1; I guess he was having timeout problems and just wedged something onto the F5 (refresh) key, not necessarily realising that it would do that...

BTW, does anyone have any decent, small games you can e-mail me as attachments? Will have to be less than 1MB or our IT bods will notice!!

oh and ref: backlog, I used to own black and white but kept deciding to reset when my monster either wouldn't grow/be smart/set fire to my villages/eat my villagers/try to farm (read - use villagers as fertilizer/ speaking of fertilizer fliging his onw s**t about the place or else he was either a skiny wimp or a complete pyschopath who on any mission i sent him would invariably eat whatever task it was I set him to.
It all seemed to work on the first level put completely fall down by the second.
And after a while I just got so sick and tired of going through the same level over and over - keep trying different things to train him into anythign other than an emotional cripple - that i uninstalled it.

I take it you've tried http://www.bbc.co.uk/games ?

Mr Inertia - Now new, improved and mostly human! Posted Sep 7, 2002
Yes, but I can't run them either, no ActiveX on this machine. I can play things like Pool, Windows Samegame, etc as they are self-contained, but not a lot else!
