Which would account for the boulder (meteor as villain in the game) and the maniac Freddy (or rather Fred) Edison, but not for the grey devolper or the circus references. Alternatively Freddy is the character from Nightmare on Elm Street in which case it's a game involving the word "Nightmare" in some way, and I can't think of any.

Nope, we're talking about another late 80's game here.
Sum up the clues and try again...Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

That's a very nice motivation for your answer but it isn't what I'm looking for. Now, what could be the connection with Boulderdash?Originally posted by Buck Birdseed

Forgive me for thinking out loud.
Clue #1- Early circus reference. "The Greatest Show On Earth" is the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey motto.
Clue #2- I interpret this as the logo of the developer being Gray, or the creator being called Gray. Bullfrog (developers of theme park) wasn't a bad guess, but their logo was B/W, not gray really.
Clue #2.5- The boulderdash connection. I admit to being stumped by this one- I don't even know who created Boulderdash in the first place.
Clue #3- "Nightmare", "Circus". Fine. Doesn't bring me any closer though.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

I'll go ahead and guess "Nightmare Circus". Chances are there's a game by that name somewhere.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

(checks mobygames)
There is, but it's much younger and for a substantially different platform.
How about "Circus Nightmare" then?

Well i think there was a Chris Gray involved in boulderdash so i guess its another game he developed. Its difficult to read the screenshots in my 20 y/o copies of Computer and Video games !
Repeat after me...i must not google....
I can't think of any circus type games though other than theme park.Comment

The period from 88 to 90 is my weakest I think- I had a c64 from 89-92 and it was hardly an up-to-date machine at the time.
Of course it's probably a really well-known game and I'll kick myself.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

I only played C64 and only a small number of PC games so I can only rely on what I know about C64 games. The game I have in mind may be irrelevant, particularly because I've never played it. But I remember it was called Circus Games
Could it be the one?Comment

Very Good! Almost there! Remember it appeared on 16 bit first.
Standup, Buck, , Ijcvetko...None of you had the right answer. All of you are hot, red hot, however!

i missed that one - probably cause clowns freak me out
Still the spectrum version looked sooooo bad compared to the amiga version i just googled(argh!) for. Throwing knives and riding uniclyces seems like a fun game though.'The very basis of the liberal idea – the belief of individual freedom is what causes the chaos' - William Kristol, son of the founder of neo-conservitivism, talking about neo-con ideology and its agenda for you.info here. prove me wrong.
