Does anyone remember the computer game 'Granny's Garden'?

Yes I remember it! I'm going to be asking nicely for that for my birthday! We used to have one BBC computer in the school, and if you were very good you got to go on it. So I never managed to ge t all the way through the game!!

I think so - the witch certainly looks familiar (I have a rubbish memory about somethings though)

I remember playing this at school! We used to love it and got to play it after we'd done all of our work.

My mum used to bring the school BBC home too. I loved Granny's Garden.

Hmmm possibly, I remember Chuckie Egg (I think?) better.

BTW does anyone remember those games where you had to go N, W, E, NW etc into different rooms and then search for things. They were text games. I want to search for them but can't think what they're called!

Sounds like a bad porno featured in "50 and up"

I fondly remember Frogger (I think? it got squished by cars) and the Mine one.

Now those I remember, can't remember what they were called either though.

Loved Chuckie egg too

Although that looks more advanced than I remember!

Nooo, this is the one I remember

Yeah that's the one! I remember thinking how amazing the games were!

I also remember programming flashing screens and making squares and circles on the BBC. Oh and simple maths programs. Those were the days ?

That's annoying me now as i remember this game and can't think what it's called

Oh I loved that game. Why can't you buy it in North America though?

There is probably a whole generation of hitchers who have absolutely no idea what we are talking about (anyone under the age of 30!)

Anyone remember Mathemagical adventure... that was another one of my faves.

Oh now you've just reminded me exactly how old I am and I am trying to remain in denial!☹️

My little boy is going into year 2 in september and they play grannys garden in school! I used to love it and I think he shares the same passion!

Didn't have granny's garden at school, we had Camping. You could get certificates if you did things in the right order or did the right thing in a situation!

My earliest memory of the BBC computer at school was "cat and mouse" where you had to get the mouse away from the cat by answering sums. This was at my taster day before I started primary school and that was 25 years ago!

eekk!

Yes, I used to love Granny's Garden. There were only about 2 BBC computers in the school so you'd get a go about once a term!

My mum used to go in and help my sister's class and they played Geordie Racer. I still think it's hilarious as she's the most untechie person ever and only learnt how to use a PC about 5 years ago. 20 years ago she didn't have a clue.

I remember them all - I'm 26...we had a BBC Basic, which I left on one day & it nearly set the house on fire

Loved Granny's Garden and Chuckie Egg.

I was lucky when my Dad got some disks with hundreds of BBC games on, and I used to spend hours playing them at home.

Then when CE was played at school I totally kicked arse and the other kids that would pick on me for being a swot were amazed that I could beat them all?

I loved Granny's Garden! I can hear the music now! We had a BBC B at home and my sister and I used to spend hours on it. When I left home in 1996 we didn't have a telly and my old boyfriend and I used to play on the BBC B instead.

I loved Chuckie Egg and Frogger and the pac man ones, and REPTON! I have played that recently and was amazed how many of the tricky bits my Dad had taught me how to do as a kid had stuck in my brain. Repton was brilliant!

I used to love all those old games - the sound of a tape loading up the game for my brother to play was the sound of rainy days in our house. And then when he got older I was his programming gimp - he used to get magazines that had programmes for games in them and he'd make me read them out, "10: Goto line 20 20: If greater than 5 goto line 30 if less than 5 goto line 40" etc. He was a mean big brother ?
