Hi.
I used to have a game on my 48k where you had to run across the top of a train (chashing somebody I think), and had to duck under things at crtain points. Side scroller I think. I've been trying to find it for a bit, but can't recall at all what it was called.
Thanks.

    Retro_eido - while you're at it, click on the 'Hudson Soft' link to see their other games. You'll see that the Bomberman (Eric & the Floaters) and Pang (Bubble Buster / Cannon Ball) series both had their origins on the Speccy, and Hudson Soft is still going strong producing the likes of Star Soldier R for the Wii.

    Hm - not so, Hudson Soft is a japanese company which began manufacturing videogames in 1978. Bomberman/Dynablaster was first released for the Sharp MZ-700 and the MSX in Japan, then re-released/ported for the Speccy and MSX in Europe as Eric and the Floaters, and Pang was based on Bubble Buster, which was a MSX original later ported to the Spectrum.
