Ideas:

  • Encourage team work.
  • Great 2-player games.
  • Cause and Effect learning.
  • Atari 2600 games are often very clear and easy to follow.
  • Virtual vs. Real games: Use an accessible computer set-up running Darts, Pool or Snooker next to a real dartboard, pool or snooker table. ("180 Darts" for the Commodore 64/128, and "Archer McClean's Pool" and "Snooker" for the Atari ST or Commodore Amiga are superb for this).
  • Explore the heritage of video games.
  • Create Art using an Atari ST - then transfer to a PC to print out.
  • Experiment with light using Llamasoft light synthesisers.
  • Great for teaching up, down, left and right.
