I notice Ben's just posted some pictures of his Connect set. Which reminded me that although Mr Ken Garland has rightly been lauded for his First Things First Manifesto, his name, for me, will be forever associated with two genius games of childhood: Connect and Fizzog. Fizzog is very graphically of its time and is quite a good game.
Connect looks marvelous and is a brilliant game. Hunt yourself out a copy on ebay and turn your child into a designer, map-maker or electronic engineer. Ben's got great pictures, have a look.
UPDATE: It seems Mr Garland does not grow weary of this basic concept, Chris has also ffffound Rivers, Roads and Rails.
I was trying to make an alphabet. But it was a bit too much work for a double Bank Holiday.
