What Game Is This?

Hello all. My dad has been scanning in some old slides, and found this incredibly geeky picture of me from the 80s. Can anyone identify the game I'm playing on my trusty Speccy? I've tried, but for the life of me I don't remember it.

    Hmm, that's not a game I remember ever having, and looking at the screenshots it doesn't ring a bell. On the TV in the photo it looks like the score bar at the bottom of the screen has a 3x2 grid in the middle, which I don't think Run Baby Run has. Seems similarly mazey, though.

    Is it one of those Boulderdash type games ... after the ground has been removed. (looks like one of the oh-so-many levels)

    Looks like Superman to me. I had it too. Awful game!

    Actually, looking at the pic again I'm pretty certain it is now as you appear to have the instructions for it sitting on your tape recorder. Well, they look familiar at any rate...

    The geekiness we can forgive. But what in the name of all that's holy were you doing playing that tripe?!

    I'd say we have a winner! If it's not Superman I'll be seriously surprised -> :-o

    Ah-ha! Well done! Superman it is. I remember it being awful, right enough, but spent much more time playing it than it rightly deserved.

    Thanks, it's been bugging me for ages!

    Reminds me of old times that picture. Kid up close to the TV on the Spectrum. Posters on the wall. I'm sure I used to rip up some magazines (probably SU) and make a mosaic of the good gaming adverts on a pinboard.
