Some more BBC B screen shots - I put my beeb on a TV via UHF and os now I've got screenshots here from Acornsoft {Snooker, Monsters and Snapper}, and as a Bonus, PMS Multifont - which I think was part of a 64k external 1MHz bus RAM box; which I must look at some day.
(Was UHF always this bad but our TVs were small enough not to notice?)
(My Beeb only started some stuff after I took it's lid off - is it's got some heat problems!)

A computer genrated simple snooker table, side on, with all the balls; photo off a TV
Acornsoft Monsters - a simple platform game with red monsters running around various levels with vertical purple ladders. Our player is standing at the bottom of the middle level in the starting position. There's a score/lives etc
Acornsoft snapper - a Pacman clone, but for legal reasons there's a more-person shaped runner than a normal Pacman; the ghosts are still running around a maze with pills.
A screen shot of PMS Multifonts menu.

The house we built while I was a kid and then lost during divorce etc is up for sale. Wow. Some idiot turned it into student accommodation and totally ruined it.
Gone are the 8 car garage, jacuzzi, full size snooker etc all turned into 16 bedrooms with en suite each.
The 8m x 16m indoor garden is still technically there but utterly ruined. Waterfall destroyed etc.
wtf.
