School Games you invent - where do they come from?
Invented games at school were the best thing ever - the height of imagination just when you needed it most!

Anyway, myself and my best mate Stani were ALWAYS in trouble at Primary school - nothing bad, we were just a bit 'mischievious' but the usual punishment was to miss playtime and/or lunchtime play by standing in 'The Centre' - it was basically the main entrance to the school right next to the head masters office. We had to stand in opposite corners facing the wall and not speak.

The floor was black tiles but occasionally there would be the odd coloured tile to make it 'a bit fancy' so we devised a game based on the end sequence from 'The Adventure Game' (if you're over 30, you'll remember this) basically 1 of us would be the player and 1 'The Vortex' and we had to take it in turns to swap sides of the room by jumping from coloured tiles as in this lovely photo of cheggers



We'd play it all playtime having TONS of fun with the added bonus if you heard Mr Singleton's (head teacher) door open you'd have to pelt back to your corner (still only touching coloured squares!) without being caught. Brilliant times. AND i was/am a fat kid that was bullied - but i still liked school!! You never wanted these days to end and you always thought you'd be best mates forever.

Here's a Youtube of The Vortex in full 48k-ness!

Clickage for bringing back The Adventue Game
Yep, I recall this too. And the gibbering aspadistra plant.

We managed to download a load of episodes
That's how tv should be.

I also started a 'release the Adventure Game on dvd" Facebook group but no-one cared.
