   AH! "Dig Dug" – a reference to that classic that I used to play in Aberdeen Airport in late 1982, early 1983 and beyond… genuinely haven’t thought about this for 20+years.

   it was always wedded in my mind with slightly hairy air travel to Shetland, as a pre-flight tension reliever… alongside "Centipede", "Defender" and "Galaxian".

   my word, how 5p used to go such a long way in them days 🙂

   Gel – the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the harvester ants.
   Their five month – mission: To explore strange new gravities. To seek out new food and new colonies.
   To boldly go where no ant has gone before.

   These guys look like they are in (and from) outer space. More trivia: we tried to feed these to our pet ant lion and she took one look and dug herself deeper and played dead.
