The titlescreen wasn't screwed up by mistake, the screen memory was used for the game. Remeber, this game run on 16KB computer memory! ;-)
All in all a brilliant arcade game!

Trailblazer auf dem Commodore Plus/4 - 1986.
Gut war ich in diesem Spiel nie, was man wohl auch hier an dieser kleinen Vorführung erkennt.
Spass macht es trotzdem.
Man beachte hier das Novaload Turbotape! Und nicht zu vergessen, das Spiel kam von der Datasette geladen. Kasstenwirschtschaft lässt grüssen (http://plus4world.powweb.com/images/hardware/1531.jpg)

Lustig am Spiel war, dass sobald der Titelscreen geladen war, das Programm sich zum Teil in den Bildschirmspeicher nachgeladen hat und somit es den Anschein hatte, als hätten die Programmierer Mist gebaut und den schönen Screen versaut.
Ging aber damals nicht anders, denn bei 16 KB Speicher war eben nicht mehr viel Platz vorhanden. Also nahm man halt auch in Kauf, dass es beim Laden zu solchen Kuriositäten kam. ;-)

Ansonsten ein super Arcade-Spiel für den C16 / Plus/4 !

Oh, da habe ich damals viel Zeit verbraten. Das Ding war höllisch schwer.

@bobamu it is hard until you learn to become one with the ball. dont control the ball.. BE the ball. then it is easy.

@fonsisweb I thank you for reminding me of an era that is gone with the wind.

@nttr123

Thank you for the music upload! :-)

@kekpafrany I was so happy to hear this very short extract of the game from my childhood that I just couldn't wait fonsisweb to carry out our request. I wanted to listen to the whole song at once. I searched for the game, downloaded an emulator, recorded the song and uploaded it. [ watch?v=WfFOH1TZv-E ]

[nttr123]

I would like you to upload the song, too! :)

[kekpafrany]

Can you record somehow the game-over song? I used to love it in my childhood :)

I also broke a joystick playing this game! Classic!

A classic game, without doubt, but very hard to play... I remember that I paid it 10.000 Italian lyrae and I broke a joystick for the nerves after only ten minutes playing...

was very difficult for me to play...
