I never understood that fucking game

( 4dam party, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:40, archived)

I did once
then I forgot
( Dixipoos Bye Bye Blackbird, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:40, archived)

Same
I think I'd lose whether I was white or black was just saying that its always the other colour that seems to win!!

edit: i.e. I stink at it!
( Chorizowagon Came wandering back on, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:41, archived)

what game is it?
I honestly don't know and couldn't tell if you've won or not :D

Is it backgammon?
( HappyToast sorted on, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:42, archived)

Othello
its like draughts but 10 times more likely to melt your brain through boredom.

I thought it was Go.

No, definitely
Turnabout, with Rob 'Curly' Curling

I thought it was called Poparound
Or was that a different game?

It was utterly pointless in any case.

Wasn't it Chegwins Plays Poparound?

( Griffy Savalas Become her drillosaur, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:51, archived)

No idea
The kids had to stand in the circle of the wrong answer, then when the bloke shouted 'poparound' they all jumped into the correct one (unless they were stupid and got the wrong answer).

Am I the only person who remembers this?
(Pachey, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:54, archived)

I think you dreamed this

( The Legendary Pink Dot, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:57, archived)

No, GS was right.
That was 'Runaround'.
( joefish Are we human - Or are we denser?, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 17:00, archived)

That's Mike Reid's Runaround
which is different to Rob Curling's Turnabout and nothing like Cheggers Plays Pop

and O'Connor's Crosswits

( The Legendary Pink Dot, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:59, archived)

I am entirely convinced it was Poparound
Mind you, I thought that other kids' show which had 'Pop' in the title had a cow in a tree and it turned out to be a monkey.

[edit] We are both right: freespace.virgin.net/greg.taylor1/watched_it/run.htm
(about halfway down the page it mentions Poparound).
(Pachey, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 17:03, archived)

cows didn't start climbing trees until early 1997
so that was foolish.

but look at the link I just changed it to... you are CORRECT!

"Gary Crowley (yes, the bloke who presented The Beat) hosted a spin-off called Poparound based on music questions, and using gold and silver disks as the scoring tokens."

Hurrah
Now what was the name of that other show, with the monkey in the tree? Pop-something.

It's going to bug me for the rest of the day now.

No, I remembered now

Me neither
It's one of those games that you only see in the holiday cottage or the cupboard at the community centre that no-one ever wants to play and if you suggest trying it they all chorus 'No, that's so boring' and then you slink off all embarrassed like.

is this othello or 'go'?
and is there a difference?
( mictoboy, Wed 7 Mar 2007, 16:43, archived)

I think it's an early form of Tetris.
