About Trailblazer (C64/CPC/Spectrum)
Originally released in 1986 for home microcomputers, this heart-pounding fast-paced surreal arcade racer from Mr Chip Software saw players take on the role of a ball racing down a patchwork runway through space. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.
Contains the C64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum versions of the game. The C64 version also features 2-player simultaneous play.
Race against the clock down a series of challenging hyperspace highways. Steer around or jump over deadly gaps, but watch out - you only have a limited amount of jumps! Some floor panels will have various effects, from changing your speed to making you jump automatically.
This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

Broken Junk. The controller does not work to jump on the Amstrad version even though it forces an official steam input (only way controller works) and says ABXY all jump. The jump on other versions works. So I have to enable Joy2Key and assign space bar to face buttons, but jump doesn't work on the Amstrad version anyway when ball is at anything other than slow speed and the original game is not like that. Sound is also broken (as is ALL of this dev's releases on Amstrad versions). Shame as they are using a poor Amstrad emulator which has cycle accurate emulators out there that a potato PC can emulate. Their C64 emulators are spot on, but the C64 version of this game is for once not the one you want as it's not full screen (it's always split) and has no music (may be a good or bad thing lol, YMMV). C64 version has insane input lag on the jump. Terrible release and possibly the worst of these 8 bit retro re releases here on Steam by this dev.1 found this helpful
