Playing Firetrack on the BBC model B for the first time in I don't know how long. Decades, certainly. Felt it was ok at the time (for a Beeb game, y'know?) but it felt a bit out of date compared to the more modern games I had on the C64 at that point so interested to see how it holds up now.
Since playing it I've found it supports sideways ram for fancier graphics so I'll have to go back to it again some time as I've upgraded since I filmed this..
Also found out that this was programmed by Nick Pelling, who's done *loads* of games I've played, from Loopz on the C64 to several of the Buzz! quiz games on the PS2, what a talented guy!
