It used to be the only way of getting the NFL scores. unless you tried to get a crackly radio reception from US Army Radio in Germany :-)

The internet really changed everything.

The internet has ruined everything! (Or most things).

The internet is a great thing, ruined by greed.

Ceefax was the best tool for keep up to date with your FO coupon until Sky Sports arrived.

:greengrin Used to love playing that. You got so far then you would get one wrong and get a message saying "Bad luck you've been Bamboozled." :grr:

Then you had to go back about 3 questions.

I did manage to find a TV where it was so slow in going to the page that told you if you were correct or not that you could actually tell if your answer was right by looking at the page number that it was trying to find. If it was going to the "bamboozled" page then you had the chance to press another colour to get it right. :thumbsup:

Loved that game. :agree:

I was usually only any good at the Buster one on a Saturday (I think it was) which was for the kids. :greengrin

Did anyone ever try to watch a penalty shoot-out on Ceefax? They always seemed to put it on a two page (at least!) rotation with the score.:grr::grr::grr::grr:

Bamboozle was solid! The Saturday edition with Bamber Boozle was far, far easier! :greengrin


Remember the cheesy wee scorecard!? :faf:




On another note, how on Earth did you play chess on Ceefax?
