Traxx


Traxx was loosely based on the old painter-style games like Amidar (and is distinctive for being the first Llamasoft game to feature a tune, which was in fact the same tune as used in Amidar). The player controlled a little blue ship moving over yellow tracks that had to be turned red one square at a time, and was pursued by little cyan bugs. I remember that if you tried to backtrack your 'paint trail' snapped off with a noise like knicker elastic being twanged. And that bloody tune drove you bonkers after a while.

The package artwork is four-colour, but as you can see, nothing to write home about. I still hadn't met Steinar Lund at that time.
