OMG, I think that might be it! Not 100% sure but 99% sure of it - not quite as I remember it but not far off. Cheers.
I'll go ask my old gaming buddy if this is the one.
Oh dear - Electricity bill increase likely - Son's Gaming PC !!

You know that moment when you realise technology is passing you by? My wife just had a computer built for her and the specs I remember are: I7, DDR5, SSD, 2 x 4k 28" monitors, a Titan Black graphics card. I have very little understanding of what this all means except, I think I might find it a bit easier getting n+1 past her now

Ha, it's her money and gaming is her "thing". Just hope she's got a system that does what she wants it to do.

It appears Defender and Scramble have been melted into one in my brain

And now I am not sure which one I was thinking of - but that is not important as I have now rediscovered both of them.

by jeevus, you lot know your stuff! maybe i should try learning a bit about the computers i use daily?
i admit i really am crap when it comes to anything but straight forward internet, files and word usage
although i can usually work stuff out by just clicking on buttons that feel right!
never liked gaming my self, not x boxes etc and have always hated tv's (never had one)
instead i enjoy hobbies such as cycling (i know what a strange hobby!), and shooting/hunting and stuff like that
Cheers Ed

I've done over 10 hours on the turbo trainer this week. I think I might be suffering from a dose of planetoids.

Defender. I played it so much my mum took the Atari away. I didn't get another console until the ps1 was released.
oh boy this takes me back was a complete PC nut over 15yrs ago, built my own, overclocked them was obsessed with FPS on Quake 3 lol. Anyone remember Unreal Tournament another cracking game. Things moved on however when Wolfenstein came along followed by Medal of Honor ( loved that ) , Battlefield 1942 and then Call of Duty the original, was brilliant, story line everything. Gaming changed for ever after that, PC power requirements just leapt massively. Played all the WW2 type games for years online multiplayer was ace. However things slowed down when I then started playing World of Warcraft, no need to upgrade every 6 months and life effectively ended lol, became a WoW crack addict 
. That is where it ends, gave up that addiction and bought an Xbox instead and now never game, just cannot be bothered with it.

My Uncle is a cabinet maker\master carpenter.
About 6 years ago we were both made redundant and I suggested we go into business building bespoke cabin-bunk beds for kids rooms.
One of my grand designs was a boys cabin bed with a gaming pod underneath, complete with vertically opening door (on gas struts) full ventilation, gaming chair, surround sound, acoustic panels, led's and room for three screens. All you needed was to add your pc and peripherals (which we would mount).
In total I worked out we could build to order in around 14 days (including painting and graphics) and install the whole thing for around £3k(depending on the choice of chair) plus the cost of the rig.
Every time I describe this to anyone interested in gaming, I seem to get a positive "I would LOVE that" response.
Maybe working for an Architectural practice was the wrong move!

I was a huge Socom nut. Played til early mornings every night, made a couple of friends online (who I never met) and was part of the dream team clan...i played like that for about 4 years.
I was off work with a dodgy leg for a fortnight and was prescribed bedrest. I literally played 24 hours a day during that tine and started to dream socom. Later found myself walking down the street looking for sniper positions and scanning blind corners...it was a bizarre time
Then, just stopped, felt like I had wasted so much time and achieved nothing and haven't really played since. I had a go at Cod4 for a bit but didn't like the respawn ethic.
My playstation is now for the kids and gets a dusting once a week, otherwise isn't touched.
