Traffic is a flick-screen game where you have to move across lanes full of various vehicles for as many points as you can. The vehicles move left or right across the screen and you have to move upwards through gaps while avoiding getting hit by the vehicles or it is game over. If you move downwards then your score decreases. There are 3 skill levels and you can choose the speed of the game (1-255) with 1 being the fastest.
Nothing ever happens in Upper Gumtree—until the eccentric Professor Blowitovitz moves into town and turns the quiet village upside down. Released in 1984, Upper Gumtree is a charming and witty text adventure game developed by Pete Cooke and published by Richard Shepherd Software Ltd for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
Players explore a surreal British countryside filled with quirky characters, humorous dialogue, and clever puzzles. With a powerful text parser that supports complex commands and real-time progression, the game introduces unique mechanics like pausing time and delegating tasks to NPC companions. Optional split-screen graphics add visual flair without sacrificing performance.
A cult classic among retro adventure fans, Upper Gumtree blends satire, storytelling, and innovation in a delightfully odd package.
You are legendary hero Ulysses and are set with three repeating tasks which get more difficult each time you are tried. The tasks lead you to the slopes of Mount Olympus, to the Temple of Knossos where the ghastly Minotaur hides and finally to an unknown labyrinth in which monsters await you.
You are the last surviving member of an artillery regiment fighting in the desert. Using your cannon you are trying to destroy a wave of advancing tanks ans stop them reaching a supply dump. When the first wave is destroyed you are attacked by super thanks that are more difficult to hit. You have 4 defensive positions and if the thanks reach your last defensive position or you receive 3 direct hits the game ends.
