    Reminds me of Andy Capp, but that was flick/flip screen, as are most of these games being mentioned.

    Creating a game engine which can handle both indoors and outdoor areas can be tricky; you generally need to zoom in on the action and up the level of detail for indoor areas, which in turn means more code and more artwork; always tricky to cram into 48k.

    Depending on how rigorous you want the definition to be, Jack the Nipper had indoor and outdoor sections, and you could maybe count stuff like Starglider, with it's docking sequence in the rotating bays. Or Blood Brothers, where the action alternates between Metroid-lite 2D platforming and a 3D racing sequence between parts of the station. And Jet Set Willy has a beach at the back of the house...

    The requirement of 'not only indoors and outdoors, but also scrolling' makes it very difficult. For example, Rambo has a big scrolling outdoors, but no indoors...

    I stumbled across Les Flics this morning:
    http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0002860

    Haven't played it yet, but it sounds similar to Clumsy Colin, albeit with Manic-Miner style rooms inside the buildings and what I assume to be an unlicenced riff on the Pink Panther theme...
