It was an extremely large seris of puzzel games, Not like Teris or anything (though I did find a Pacman clone spin off... bizarre), but you controlled this "Egg" with arms and legs, a bit like a platformer, but you picked up items, then had to work out where to use them to progress further. Say there was a cloud of acid rain, you had to find a raincoat to protect yourself from it. or maybe you needed to use a mine cart, but you can't get it to start? Well look around, and you might just see a control box, but with a missing lever... Say, wasn't there a lever shaped piece of wood back by the enterance? There must of been millions of these games. There was even a NES game, would you believe? <p></p><i></i>

Yes, but the NES game was never officially licensed by the big N, and so it came in a cart that had to be plugged into a normal cart for it to work.

Found a <a href="http://www.viewtronix.easynet.co.uk/beeb/supjr.htm">better site</a> with slightly more information and info on other classic BBC Micro games like Galaxians and Frogger...

So, Dizzy wasn't lisenced, and thus the need for that type of "cartidge"? I had a few games like that, including the Game Gennie....<br>I think Micro Machines was the same, wasn't it? <p></p><i></i>

Methinks Codemasters and Nintendo were not the best of friends, back in the day...<br><br>But then, Codemasters always were the zany ones.<br><br>Anyone remember Micro Machines on the Game Gear that had the '2 players on one Game Gear' mode? Playing using only A, B, and Start was... an experience... <p>---------------------<br><i>"Screw this crap, I've had it."</i> - Weezer<br><br><font size=1>Why not take a trip to "<a href="http://www.orangeangel.com/tenchi/">Substitute Tenchi</a>"! - NOW WITH A FULL FAN-SUB OF THE FIRST EPISODE OF TENCHI MUYO GXP!<br></font></p><i></i>
