Now that we no longer have analogue TV here in the UK, teletext (as many of us knew it) has disappeared too. Or has it?

I know that teletext survived in a sense, in the form of digital text and interactive services on digital TV, but it's not quite the same. The brilliant Teletext Viewer by ZXGuesser authentically rekindles fond nostalgic memories for me, and provides a way for people who've never seen teletext to experience it in an emulated form. The viewer showcases original teletext pages recovered from videotape, as well as a modern teletext revival in the form of Teefax, which is being kept very much alive by a dedicated group of enthusiasts.

And, of course, you can even play Bamboozle!
