there was 3 different ones and they were all 3-d
perspective, you had to shoot down ships & things, & i think
one of them was a racing car game. i can't even remember the
manufacturers.

yeah, the round things against the evil cube things. and
winsor davies did the voice for the round thing on the show.
i've been keeping myself busy watching that & chocky.

me thinks a loft excursion in the near future to hunt that
game out, it must be there, unless my brother thieved it
which is pretty likely as it was his game really.

Vectrex was my favourite, I remember this rich kid getting
it for christmas for £140, and then I bought it from him
for £20 a month later the spoilt git. wish I held on to
that...... I'm going to look on ebay now.....
