The game is awesome. I discovered it in a tape someone passed to me with a thousand of games. It was at the end of the tape and not listed on the inlay, so it was kind of mysterious (hey, I was 10 or 11! This felt mysterious back then).
When I managed to know what I should do, I was amazed. This is one of the most original, fun games I've ever played. I love it to bits.
Brilliant game , although you wouldnt think so judging by the cover (looks like one of the bad guys from Blazing Saddles!) A bit like Road Runner - but without the roadrunner (or the coyote). Very inventive , very clever ; you'll have lots of fun trying different things, and the game is quite forgiving when it comes to getting things wrong.
A great game. I only discovered it in the late 90's when I first into Spectrum emulation through one of those dodgy CDs they used to sell in HMV. My flatmate enthused about this game so we put it on and had a great laugh with it.
I liked this game (apart from the awful way you had to enter you name via up down and fire, ON A SPECTRUM, which erm, has a keyboard attached, you know?). It was very original and enjoyable. And it showed what the official Road Runner game could have been like.

Must be a thing with them (New Generation Software)... I remember the Trashman games using the same method.
Anyone play this? Thoughts? I've always thought it was a great idea but the perspective makes it so difficult.
Used to love and worship this game. Somehow my memories had formed around the game having lots of variety but in reality, its trial and error for each setup with the only variables being the timing of the initial drop and the speed and distance of the gunslinger.
As such, it requires one hell of a memory to know when to push the boulder or whatever in each scenario.
Its still enjoyable to this day, but it would benefit from infinite retries (playing for points).
