The Adventure Game - The Vortex

I was always terrified someone would fall through the gaps

When you’re 8 and fall in love with

Charmian Gradwell ❤

Ah memories from my school days ❤

Remember this around 8 years old and hearing Numan and the Human League on the radio and being really frightened but in a warm comforting way

That's numberwang!

Why did they walk into it, that was a bit daft?

Lesley seems to enjoy it alot 😂😂

I felt the tension, I really did!

Wow, I remember watching the Adventure Game on TV when I was very young. The vortex last challenge was always the best part. Looked a lot better then 😂 Never move to the side... 🙄

This looks like an AI made this show.

What an awful thing to do, evaporating Madeline Smith?

Never go sideways.

I remember this. I was born in 1975. I reckon I was 9
or 10 when this was on. Was great unless someone got vortexed! That was a bit too real for me and a bit scary to say the least!

This scared the crap out of me as a kid...

It gave me a few nightmares

Everyone in the comments was scared of the vortex when they were little,
it was the gibbering, sentient plant that freaked me out @__@

1981?? Goooood grief!

Did this used to have a talking plant in a pot? Am I remembering this right?

Are they dumb or cant they see the vortex??

Good old Saturday afternoon entertainment .

Fantastic show, from an amazing, classic era. Loved TV back then. Isn't that the guy from the series called "The Chinese Detective"?
"I'd buy that for a Drogna"
(Hope it's right.😁)

Scared me as kid. Confusing game. "Congrats... youve evaporated/killed two people... bye!"
Then they walk home? Hmm.

So they cannot see the vortex?

To think it's a TV studio is really clever idea

Miss this as a kid it was so amazing to watch and still keep it simple it's the best still great who's for dvd or blueray??I mean golden age of TV has gone it's okay some nights 🌙

I used to watch this n we use to play this game on our 80s front room carpet

This was the scariest thing ever when you’re 9 and watching TV after school

“How many argons around the pond? Wibble wibble.”
I was scared watching this program, but wasn’t scared of Mr Nosey Bonk.

Squid Game, episode 7.

Horrifying!! ......Look at those clothes!
Yeah had to ask my mum if they really died lol

Is there any skill to this game or is it just dumb luck?

I remember Cheggers was once evaporated.

God that theme at the end made me tearful. So nostalgic.

is this where all the dr who alien reject ended up

Pov: Recommend

Love love loved this show! The suspense of the vortex was so scary I could hardly watch. Still is! Gronda gronda.

God i remember this, I was young at the time, this is surprisingly tense.

clap clap clap Oh we desintegrated them jerry what fun! fnarfnarfnar!

The good old days when the BBC licence fee was actually worth paying, and before they got woke and injected feminism and political correctness into fucking everything they make.

Leslie Judd casually vaporising space punters. Chilling.

Loved this show. The Vortex freaked me out as a kid!

Why the hell would you step into the vortex’s spot?

I always thought that this was part of Galloping Galaxies for some reason. It was really quite scary, either the sheer drop into the void of space would kill you, or that damn energy vortex would. Quite sinister compared to the colourful puzzles of the earlier games in the programme.

Omg i thought about this game show since i was a child....thank god for internet....first time i seen this in 40 years...
It mad how we were all children the same time.....
Who remembers hong kong phoey.....and monkey magic??? With pigsy,,sandy,,monkey and the emperor... god feel so sentimental now.🤣😂🤣😂

thanks for sharing TMINE

They did a similar game to The Vortex in Incredible Games.

It's like a game of Chess.

Probably the greatest show the BBC ever created.
