Thing Bounces Back, also known as 'Thing 2'.

I've always been curious to know why this game has these names, as no 'part 1' exists, according to infoseek...

maybe part 1 is MIA?

Any ideas?...

    The first game was called "Thing on a Spring" which was (indeed) never released on the Speccy but only on the C64 IIRC.

    Originally on the C64 and there's an Amstrad CPC version, yes.

    After seeing ToaS on the C64 as a kid I wished it had come out on the speccy... TBB isn't as good as the original in my opinion.

    There has been a remark about this at the entry you link, for a couple of years now. :-)

    I remember thinking years ago that this was a sequel to this....and hunted it down only to discover it was a completely different Thing.....
