They seemed to know enough to load the disks as far as I remember.

One school I went to had "computer club" after school to use BBC Micros.

We were playing games on them: Thrust, Imogen and Repton.

I was very pleased when I found that Repton 3 has been released for Android, by the original developer.

When I was 6, I couldn't get beyond the 4th level. Now, I have completed a few of the level sets, but I'm still stuck on others.

That's cool, though if you feel nostalgic for worms, get a retro emulation version as the play store version will cause all sorts of WTF moments and utter price gorge.

Repton, Imogen and Thrust are 9-10 years older than Worms (1995), it was a very different era for graphics.
