Sekiden gun and pellets-mentioned elsewhere and a metal spud gun

Remember this TV programme? Made by London Weekend Television and ran from 1969 to 1973..

(On the Buses "I 'ate you Butler!" biggest mistake was to make three films which were dire!)

From 1970/71....

( I have those on video from the BBC showing AND I have been a member of the Gerry Anderson Appreciation Society or FANDERSON since 1985)

Don't forget Captain Scarlet and Stingray amongst the others.

One of my favourite bands in 1973...

Computer games revisited part 1 Did you ever play this? I think someone mentioned it at some point.
Daley Thompson's Decathlon. Great game but you needed to time races with your manic fingers going flat out AND for field events timing was everything.

part 2 my favourite game on Spectrum, SPYHUNTER.


(An explanation of the game)
It was a great game and I managed to get to the third level(which changes from road, to desert, to snow scene) but the only problem was you had to avoid the ordinary vehicles but the bloody things kept spinning in front of you-the motorcycles were a nightmare! Sometimes in the EXPERT version the spy van would dump you right in front of a RoadLord that bumps you off the road, or a red one with buzzsaws to chop you apart or the dreaded green car, the ENFORCER which if you get in front of it shoots you relentlessly with bullets.

If you managed to make it to the end of the road you could go straight off the broken bridge so you had to time it to navigate to the left where your car drives through a garage and becomes a speedboat and then you navigate a river to avoid the sea mines and other villainous boats. Back on the road you could stop a quarter of the way to pick up another van which you drive into to get smoke, or oil slick or a missile. Keep the missile towards the end of a long road and then the mad bomber helicopter appears and you need the missile to blow it up.

Screened from 15th September 1976 to 13th March 1981...
