What was this game?

[y0z2a]

when i was a child i had a bbc micro and then an acorn.

on the micro we had a game which was a box with a ball bouncing around it.

you had to manoveur around the box making it smaller and smaller until it was a tiny bit at a time.

does anyone remember this and what it is / was called.

the other was a game with a jcb that i think was called digger.

anyone know where i can get them?

I remeber Grannys Garden on the bbc when i was in primary, it was so cool!

 

[Darren S]

LOL - Granny's Garden 1 & 2. My m8 had Revs on his BBC - well good at the time and iirc - wasn't that written by Geoff Crammond? None was a patch on the immortal Elite though. I remember thinking my m8 was the luckiest sod alive when he got that..

Many a Saturday afternoon was spent flying around Diso, Lave, etc....
