6ixel BBC Online's attempt to attract vinyl, teletext and platform game lovers to the magic of digital radio stations. Actually I think that's going to require cheaper receivers not games, but this is still good fun.

6ixel is Lode Runner without the evil monks;
if the Beebe wanted to promote their station with a cool game,
there would've been no better choice than Repton!

(I'd also mention the Daleks game, but that'd be self-posting, wouldn't it?)

Well I think it's a very good game ...

It would be cool if you could legally download the full cd quality MP3 after each level as reward. With commercials between levels for revenue. Although that would be an illegal game of skill (gambling) and turn some into rabid gamer addicts.

I'll link to a version of the Daleks game then. I've wasted countless hours playing that game and various versions of it.
