Need to get fit...

I'm a sad bugger. I like data and statistics, so I've knocked together a nice spreadsheet to record my progress on my newly purchased exercise bike. It automatically adds up what I've done each day/week so I can make sure I'm reaching my weekly target. I've only done 8.86km over 25 minutes (and that nearly killed me), but I'm starting slow and easy to begin with.

Game Covers - Time Tunnel (Commodore 64)

The adventure starts deep within the magical forests of Central Scandinavia and near the mansion of an aged, but powerful, gnome King. As is the tradition in the gnome society, whenever a king reaches his 350th birthday, procedures commence to choose a successor. Your recent accomplishments for a youth of 114 years makes you a prime contender for the throne, but the feats required to achieve your goal are not easy. Seven pages from an ancient gnome scripture have been scattered across the years of time by an evil Cyclops. These pages describe the magical procedure required to free many of your kind who have been trapped by spirits within the trees of the gnome forest. To earn your right to the throne, you must undertake perilous voyages back and forth in time to locate, acquire and return these pages to the forest. Your final goal of deciphering the scriptures message will allow you to perform the special magic required to free your fellow gnomes and become Gnome King.
