Default Retro Grannys Garden [SOLD]

:bye: Hey I'm new, sorry if I break any rules asking this, I read them though before I posted.

I used to play a game whilst I was at school called "Grannies Garden", and it was a childrens game involving rescuing the children of the King and Queen I think, it also had a witch in it. Just wondering if someone could point me in the direction of where to look for it.

Thanks!

Rosella

If you Google the name you find that its still being used by schools. I think its a newer version, and I believe you can order a copy. Don't think it would be abandon ware though. ps. Welcome, to the site.

Ok, thanks for your help!

Must say I love this site, I've found so many classics on it that I'd forgotten about, it's like reliving my childhood!

I wouldnt mind playing this again when i was at school and played it all the kids had to get an equal shot and the other kids used to not listen to me and wind up captured off the witch, If only they had just went into the cupboard the second time they woulda got the green broom stick but anyway

Heh, I remember playing Granny's Garden for C64 in primary school (late 1980s). It first came out on the BBC in 1983, and they still keep updating it and rolling it out -- Windows / Mac CD is available here.

There was another very similar game, Dragon World, but that seems to have died and even the old versions (for emulators) are really hard to find.
