YANTG (Yet Another Name That Game)

Hello, all..

I'm going through some Spanish covertapes, and found this game..

I KNOW I've seen this before somewhere else..

You're in a maze, and you have to reach the exit before a giant floating "M" catches you.

Ring any bells?

Toodle-pip!

    Yep, it's on Spectrumania 2/03, game name is Mutacion.

    I could be wrong, but I think(?) the version I saw perhaps had a large "A" chasing after you, though maybe not?!?

    I've played this game in the original English version sometime in the last few years, which would most likely indicate that it's a type-in and is on TTFn, but I can't remember the title.

    If I had something which could search ZIP files I could check for the CODE start address in the TTFn TAP archives, which should find it, but I don't have anything to do that. I'll see if I can find some suitable utility somewhere, if no-one comes up with the answer.

    Floating M? it sounds like Escape MCP to me...I had it on the Vic 20 not the speccy though. :-/

    Does Choc-Man have a floating M?

    Yes, well done, it's Escape MCP - and not a type-in, as I'd imagined. I've now discovered why I remembered playing it "in the last few years". I'd downloaded it in 2004 as I was missing the screen shot on YrUA from its review in Your Spectrum #1.

    The Spanish one is messed up, though, as I can walk through the walls in numerous places and I can't pick up the disk - which problems don't occur in the original Rabbit version.

    Still, it's prompted me to finally get a ZIP file search utility, which I've been intending to do for years.

    Thank you, you fine gentlemen... Accept this sweet wrapper... There were originally sweets inside, but I got a bit peckish..
