[redcardinalist]

The best episodes were the ones where the "Earth Adventurers" fully entered into the spirit of the thing (sometimes they didn't). I seem to remember Johnny Ball being especially fun :)

I remember the Adventure Game from my childhood growing up in the 1970's.

I seem to recall quite a few words the Argon's used were anagrams of the word "dragon".

I do know that the BBC Microcomputer was used to create the effect of someone disappearing if they moved to the same square as the vortex on the final game.

i always remember this show being on a friday night..? maybe that was a later series? i used to like the game where they had to jump on different coloured squares to get to the plant at the end. very vague memory but i loved this show!

I loved this programme when I was a kid, noone I have asked about it remember it, even my brother who I watched it with! I was starting to think I had dreamt it, loved watching these clips, it brought it all back!

[ovigaming]

She was the presenter on the first series, it was before she became a newsreader.

I'm 32 - Thursday evenings were the same for me. It was the only evening I was allowed to have my dinner in front of the TV, provided all my homework was done. I was trying to find this online for ages. None of my mates remembered it. I was beginning to think I'd made it up until I was talking to my mum about it. Happy childhood memories! :-)

The puzzles on this were always ludicrously difficult. Didn't some of them involve discs of various values, depending on the colour and number of sides, but the contestants were never told what base value they had? The whole show was just an exercise in Schadenfreude. It was great!

[2206411411]

I wouldn't call them ludicrously difficult - there was usually a very simple (but obscure) logic. The disc values, if I remember right, were the number of sides * the value of the colour, which I think was where it was placed in the spectrum. I don't think they used the resistor colour codes, I'm pretty sure it was spectrum. Once you solved one puzzle, if you understood the idea, you could solve all later puzzles much more easily. Absolutely brilliant show, regardless, and should return.
