The Adventure Game

[VannaB]

Does anyone remember the Adventure Game? Ithink it was on about 6pm on BBC2 and I only have vague snippets of it left in my head.
I remember the clear plastic currency with different coloured shapes, the wobbling Yukka type plant that had a name but can't remember it's name.
There was also a game where a mouse went into a maze and people used to have to direct it through via a computer, and at the end there was a giant white grid across the sky that people had to walk across trying not to bump into the vortex...
Any other details of this are greatly appreciated-also, what did the people win at the end?

Used to love this programme, although I did have nightmares that I'd be got by the vortex and I used to be really worried that someone would fall off the grid.

This has got to be the most popular question on childrens tv in Answerbank.

The Adventure Game has to be one of the most fondly remembered childrens programmes of the 1980's. Can you
remember respected News reader Moira Stewert as one of the Dragon people?:-D
