Online games

[Jet]

When I was a kid, we used to play such BBC computer games as Granny's Garden and an adventure game called " L "  Does anyone know where I can find and play these games free online - I have searched everywhere but cannot find L at all, and can't find an online version of Granny's Garden.

Please help...

L is on here

Go to Software, BBC Micro on the left. Disk images, index by filename.

You will also need an emulator like BeebEm.

Found Flowers of Crystal here :

Granny's Garden is still being made for the PC, so 4mation software still have the copyright on the original hence it's not downloadable.

OBonio - what is a BeebEm?  Where can I get one? how much will it cost?  (I'm new to all this pc lark!!)

thanks

BeebEm is a BBC emulator for Windows. You can get it here :

Thanks OBonio   (msg also for ACW)

I'm really not v.good - I clicked to download the BeebEm, and it seemed to have installed, however, when I click on the links to download L, flowers of crystal, etc adobe acrobat tries to read them and says the files are unreadable or corrupt... thanks for your help tho. much appreciated.

Ooh, I found a couple more as I was looking, and I could get onto them to play on-line - remember frogger, and lemonade stand?  wicked!!  they are on www.freeonlinegames.com look under adventure games, and scroll through the pages and you will find them!!

thanks again
