What's the first film you were taken to see as a kid? Believe it or not, mine was Paint Your Wagon (1969) with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood when I was 3 years old. Umm I don't think my parents really chose that one for me somehow! I blame my father wholeheardedly for any subsequent Clint Eastwood fixation. |

Your favourite RPG? I love JRPGs especially the Final Fantasy games - do you have a favoute RPG or series of RPG's? |

What was the last truly scary horror film you saw? I grew up on Hammer House of Horror & Stephen King books which explains a lot but I just don't think films are scary these days? |

What is the best night out watching the big match ever? I had a fab time the night of the England-Germany semi final of Euro 96, sadly we lost after a string of nail biting penalties but the drunkenness in Nottingham market square afterwards (including a whole array of boys showing me their st george cross boxers in the street!) made up for it :D |

Another Spectrum Classic from Ultimate Play the Game and possibly the first ever gardening game to boot!
You control Robbie the Robot (reminds me a bit of Wall-E) in his task to help the flower in his garden grow to bloom before it gets eaten away by the pesky bugs and insects. Each level has a new creepie crawly to throw into the mix and Robbie must fend them off using three coloured spray cans which he can find in ledges on the garden wall.
Each spray can can kill a particular sort of baddy, shooting them with the wrong can merely stuns them for a few seconds. Keep this up for long enough and your prescious plant bursts into bloom and the level is complete.
Great graphics, smooth movement, and get this WRITTEN IN 100% MACHINE CODE!

Absolutely loved Pssst, but didn't realise it was a 16k game! Fascinating how much you can get into such a small machine.
