Hover Bovver C64, a Jeff Minter C64 game. You can read, watch, listen and even play the history of computer games at my video game history website The Dot Eaters: https://thedoteaters.com/?page_id=6

Without a doubt the best C64 game ever that is about mowing the lawn. Also one of the top Llamasoft computer games. And if someone can get game designer Jeff Minter on the horn, can you ask him what "bovver" means? EDIT: I got in touch with Jeff Minter and the title is a reference to an ad campaign in the 80s in the UK by a manufacturer of traditional wheeled lawn mowers, taking a swipe at wheel-less hover mowers. The slogan went "It's a lot less bovver than a hover", with bovver a play on 'bother'. Hence, Hover Bovver!
