When I was a kid, we used to play such BBC computer games as Granny's Garden and an adventure game called " L "  Does anyone know where I can find and play these games free online - I have searched everywhere but cannot find L at all, and can't find an online version of Granny's Garden.

Please help...

Go to Software, BBC Micro on the left. Disk images, index by filename.

You will also need an emulator like BeebEm.
Found Flowers of Crystal here :

Granny's Garden is still being made for the PC, so 4mation software still have the copyright on the original hence it's not downloadable.

OBonio - what is a BeebEm?  Where can I get one? how much will it cost?  (I'm new to all this pc lark!!)

BeebEm is a BBC emulator for Windows. You can get it here :
