Pob.

[Solero]

A simple game played on the school BBC computer

Pob was a round red ball with legs who could do stuff, your goal was to find out exactly what pob could do. You typed in a three or four letter word and if Pob could do it then he'd act it out for you. Pob could fly, walk, blow, hop, skip, jump etc

Any one else remember this game?

Re: Pob.

I can, it was called Podd, not Pob. I liked it when Podd exploded/popped.
Podd was part of a 4-game package IIRC.

Re: Pob.

I knew I recognised the name, but as I never really played computers, I was a bit puzzled. Then I Googled and found...

Pob's Programme - ClassicKidsTv.co.uk

...and all was revealed.
