I'll go for the second choice.

[duke o' york]

Yes! Damn, and I could see screens from the game too.

oh ye of little faith in my weird memmory

I think Standup has the answer (but we need Tau Ceti to verify i think)

[DrSpike]

Oh yeah, I remember this game now after seeing the screenies, and it's clearly the answer.

[ZargonX]

That's a new one to me...

[Spaced Cowboy]

Ditto

[Tau Ceti]

Indeed, that is correct.

[Standup]

Can't remember much about the game and i think if it wasn't for the silly name it would have drifted out of my memory.

new game tomorrow (friday) as having to actually do some work at the moment.

[Standup]

Ok,

Spectrum, early 80s ( about 83 i think).

[DrSpike]

Space Raiders.

[duke o' york]

Spy Hunter

[Standup]

nope and a bit of quiet relief that nobody guessed it from that clue.

2. Hedgehogs revenge (for those who remember Not the Nine O'Clock News)

[Standup]

Well everyone is either off watching the cricket or under whelmed with the clues.

3. Always reminded me of Scramble although it isn't a scramble game or even really a variation thereof for copy right reasons.

[Standup]

4. as well as hedgehogs there's kangaroos

[child of Thor]

was there a game called Kanga! featuring a platform hopping boxing kangeroo?

[DrSpike]

I hope for your sake there was, or you are really screwed up.

[child of Thor]

well your the resident spectrum black belt - so i was hoping you would know something Kanga, pretty sure it was a platform game........but your right it could be my fevered imagination

[DrSpike]

I don't remember it, but when I see screenies I might.

[Standup]

Not kanga (although not sure i remember that one).

The kanga's (and the hedgehogs) in this game were martial arts specialists according to the game blurb.

[child of Thor]

If this was basicaly a platform game, then it sounds very much like one i was designing around 1986 - called 'Spike the hedgehog' after the combative hedgehog it featured. Still it just stayed on paper as far as i know?

screenshot next as we're struggling?

I hope it's not that - if it is I should have got it.

[Standup]

ah that means i have to struggle with the technology

screenshot attempt.....

edit - removed to make it a bit bigger than microscopic !

and er try not to call the image by the game name

[Standup]

[Standup]

no takers ?

Ok, it's a racing game. Another more obvious screenshot soon.

[Spaced Cowboy]

You got me on this one. ????

[child of Thor]

I love that graphic shot but have to admit i'm stuck on this one too
I think only CapTVK is in the running to guess this now.......
