Starglider 1, yes. And wasn't there a Saturday morning program that used Weird Dreams from the Amiga around the same time? It might even have been the same program! Or possibly "No.73"... ahh memories!

No 73!

I'm not sure tbh, I just looked at Weird Dreams and it doesn't ring a bell. Long time ago now lol.

On the other hand, I do seem to remember a programme that had some of HyperSports (arcade) on it. I think the vault event. Can't remember the show though.

Yeah I remember that, I think it was one of those touch tone games where viewers phoned up that were so big in the late 80s/early 90s (that were clearly someone playing it with a real joystick at the studio's end out of the camera's view). Could it have been on Motormouth ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motormouth ) - I think that was the first time I saw Xenon 2 as well.

I remember one of the kids tv programs using weird dreams, the game was hard enough without trying to play it over a phone line.

Hypersports was used on one of the bbc kids programs in the evening, though i think it was the bbc computer version of the game they used

The original online gaming - playing Starglider, Xenon and Weird Dreams over the phone! LOL!!! Get Fresh, a blast from the past.

Don't forget Magic Pockets on Motormouth and Going live.

BTW - Gilbert the Alien was wicked!

Also 720 was in an adult gameshow which had a conservative feel... Like general knowledge questions

Xenon 1 was also in some kind of gameshow

Xenon (Amiga) on Get Fresh

Them were the days

Actually, Debbie Greenwood, bit of a fox eh?


Edit: actually, they look like Amiga 1000s for extra coolness
