I joined the Navy when ships were made of wood and men were made of steel.

Does anybody remember an interactive TV game in the 80's called "TV Pow"?

Back in the early 80's I was living in regional Victoria and our local TV station (channel 6 in Shepparton) had a 5 minute program on Saturday evenings called TV Pow. People would enter a draw (probably by mailing their name and phone number in to the station) for a chance to play this game. Channel 6 would call the weekly winner and the phone call would be put to air. On the TV screen the station broadcast a computer game which consisted of crosshairs set in the middle of the screen and a randomly moving UFO flying around. While on the phone, the caller would watch the crosshairs and UFO on their TV. When the UFO moved behind the crosshairs they would yell "POW!" into the telephone (which would be heard on the TV). If the UFO was in the crosshairs when they yelled "POW!" it would be shot and they would win!!! Can't remember if there was a prize but as a kid I thought this was a pretty cool game!

Does anybody else remember this game? I wish they would play it again!

They didn't have that where I was living as a young fella but it sounds like it wound have been fun..... Could even be call a pioneer in interactive TV.
