'''Grange Hill''' (full title: '''Grange Hill: The Computer Game''') is an [[adventure]] game that was developed by [[Binary Design]] for [[Argus Press Software]] and released on the [[Sinclair ZX Spectrum]], [[Amstrad CPC]] and [[Commodore 64]], in [[1987]]; based on the BBC's drama series of the same name (which premiered on BBC1 in [[1978]]), the player must take control of Luke "Gonch" Gardener who is breaking back into Grange Hill School after it has closed for the day to retrieve his Walkman (which was stolen from the staffroom after being confiscated during a mathematics lesson), accompanied by his CPU-controlled friend Paul "Hollo" Holloway (and if Gonch wants him to follow him he must wait for him to catch up).
