Grange Hill is a 1987 video game published by Argus Press Software for the Commodore 64,[3] ZX Spectrum,[4] and Amstrad CPC.[5] It is based on Grange Hill, a popular children's television show. The music was done by David Whittaker,[2] but did not include the TV show's theme tune.[6]

The Commodore 64 version was coded by Michael Delves.[2]

Plot

The game's protagonist is Luke "Gonch" Gardener,[7] with Paul "Hollo" Holloway as an assistant[8] (see the list of pupils in Grange Hill). The object of the game is to retrieve Gonch's personal stereo from the school[9] after hours, which his teacher confiscated.
