    Yes, definitely Red Squirrel. I also quite enjoyed Trailblazer, as it had a very fast gameplay for that time. Didn't know on what platforms it was released, as I only had the C64 version.

    EDIT: According to Wikipedia, it was released on following platforms: Atari 8-bit, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Gizmondo, MSX, ZX Spectrum. As you can see, Acorn isn't mentioned. They also mention it is a single player game, but you can play it in 2 player mode with split screen, as seen on the screenshot.

    I'm sure I played it on the CPC. I will have a look though my Acorn games collection later and see if the game is there. If so we can definitely update that Wiki entry!

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    It might have been a clone perhaps. The Amiga version for example isn't an official version, it's PD by another author.

    Trailblazer was brilliant! I used to play that a lot on the C64. Did you know it also had a sequel, called Cosmic Causeway? I never played that so don't know how it compares to the original game. Not sure what systems had it either, but it was on the C64 at least.

    Nope, first time I hear, but I just had a look now and found it.

    Do you also notice something about the ball in the sequel? Looks very familiar don't you think? I wonder if the designers of the Boing demo were fans of the game? Or vice versa.
