Was there a topdown parachuting game? Have memories of playing that a lot. Otherwise I can only say Elite and Frak as they're my only BBC gaming experiences (our school had these weird RML micros)

Same at mine. Bet they probably paid a fortune for them too!

We also had one of those massive Doomsday CD drives, but I don't remember a single person using it.

Hi everyone, this is now going to be our cover feature.
If you've contributed would you be interested in telling us why you voted for the games you did?
That way we can get your comments in the magazine.

Has to be Granny's Garden, as its the first game I ever remember playing. I wish it was some massively regarded classic, but that was computing in schools in the 80s
