As a conniseur of archaic computer games, do you remember Castle Quest? (With the little red spider men you had to squish together, it was bizarre) or indeed IMOGEN or MAGIC MUSHROOMS or ACID RAIN for the much abused BBC and Acorn Electron (oh, i was a true child of the early 80s)
... if you do and/or you know any sites related to them could u get back to me?
Thanks! Loved the dizzy article. Is there one for Frogger?

'Fraid not. I was too busy breastfeeding in the early 80's. I started off with a clunky Atari 2-something-something with all the classics; Frogger, Space Invaders, Joust, even Frogger, although I don't know nearly enough about it to write an entry on it. Anyway, those games to be slightly before my time, you old fogey, you!
Thanks for the praise though. When a conniseur of archaic computer games congratulates my work, I know the effort was all worth it. I'm still waiting for my pay cheque though.
Later days!

Didn't know if you'd seen my light-hearted effort along the same lines. I linked to your entry too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A637319
There are links to emulators and pc versions of some of the games
