Correct, it is Labyrinth by Lucas filmgames. With its joystick menu interface is was a sort of precursor to Maniac Mansion.

Now there, that wasn't so hard was it?

Over to Buck 'Googler' Birdseed.

Hehe just pulling your leg. I can't wait to see what's next. Try to come up with something Cap can't possibly know but the rest of us can get. Now that could be quite difficult.

[Buck Birdseed]

Did he ever have a Spectrum I wonder? Lemme think...

[Buck Birdseed]

Okay, game: early-mid eighties, on the speccy, first game I owned in the mid-eighties before I got my c64 and dumped the Sinclair, which I'd mostly used for programming anyway.

Clue #1- a lot of people seem to think the robot is an owl.

[DarkCloud]

Robocop!

[Buck Birdseed]

Clue #2, part of title screen...

[CapTVK]

Doesn't ring a bell. Keep going!

[Buck Birdseed]

Clue #3:

This is an object you can pick up (flashes purple/white) which doesn't do anything in game, only gives you 1000 extra points. Unfortunately you have to put down your tools to get them. By about level three you'll barely have time to think about them, it gets somewhat hectic.

Is it Pedro?

[Buck Birdseed]

Nope.

[DrSpike]

I recognise that damn pic, but I can't think from where.

[Buck Birdseed]

I can say you're not far away.

[DrSpike]

Pedro2?

[Buck Birdseed]

If it was I'd have given you Pedro. But no, I mean the games have at least one major thing in common.

[DrSpike]

Aha, is it Pssst?
