Dan Dare MatchIt

Tomorrow, April 14th 2010, is the 60th Anniversary of Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future, the classic British comicbook sci-fi series that first appeared in the Eagle comic way back in 1950.

To celebrate this milestone, here is a Dan Dare themed version of our famous picture matching memory game featuring loads of classic Dan Dare images and a rare sample of the theme music from the 1990 BBC Radio 4 Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future serial.

The aim of the game is simple but challenging - match the 40 pairs of picture cards in the quickest time, and the least number of moves, as you can. Clearing the picture cards will reveal one of 10 different larger images of Dan Dare through the years.

(As a special bonus, you can see all 10 of these images by going into the About menu option and clicking on the blue text link at the bottom of the About screen - click on each image to go on to the next one.)
