Kayleigh's Retro Isolation - Day 2
My daughter enjoys playing computer games, especially those on the PS3 and PS4. So, during the UK Covid-19 virus lockdown, I plan to introduce Kayleigh to a different retro game every day so she can experience the type of games I was playing when I was her age.

Gaming Memories - December 1989
Looking back at what I was reading and playing exactly 30 years ago this month, December 1989 was a good year for racing games on the Commodore 64. My Amiga owning friends might have had the eagerly awaited home version of Hard Drivin', but I had the Commodore 64 versions of Turbo Outrun and Stunt Car Racer, both of which scored higher than their Amiga counterparts between both Zzap and Commodore User reviews.
It was however around this time when I decided to ditch Commodore User in favour of the more C64 friendly Zzap 64/Amiga as my primary source of C64 news and goodness since Commodore User was aiming more for the Amiga market. Shame on them, as the C64 still had plenty of life left in it to last a few more years.

Game Covers - Trailblazer (Commodore 64)
Thunder into the unknown at breakneck speed, pushing your reflexes to the limit in this exhilarating journey that is not for the faint-hearted.
Roll left, roll right avoiding the endless chasms that lay in and around the squares of mystery. Go as fast as you dare, but beware the hazards as squares can speed you up and move you around seemingly at random, the quicker you can complete the course, the higher your bonus but the greater the risk.
