Anyone remember the name of this game?

I've no idea why I started thinking about this, but it's bugging me now. I've had a nose on google for a while but can't find anything

Basically it was a game on the Amiga that I had, where you're in a kind of Wile E Coyote situation, setting traps for your approaching foe. You had boulders to drop, etc, just like the cartoon. It wasn't these cartoon characters, just a generic character.

It wasn't Spy Versus Spy either

Anyone know what it was called (and if there are games like this out now?) as it's driving me nuts trying to remember the name of it!?

If we do, what's it worth?     I don't, by the way.

I was only little when we had our amiga's and I didn't have the game you are referring to =( My favourite was a game called Oscar in which you use your yo-yo to swing around and kill nasties.

Anyway, if you can be bothered and it bugs you enough you could try and look through this site to see if it jogs any memories - http://eager.back2roots.org/

Wow, what a fabulous site that is - and I never even had an Amiga! Brings back a lot of memories, a fair few of those games were available on the BBC that I had

Seems like there is a pretty big community for old games like those. I found some emulators so the games can be played on modern PC's.

Have to say there are shedloads more games than I remember!

On the Atari ST it was called Roadrunner as I have it along with many thousands of other Atari game for the 2600VCS, 8-bit(400/600/800/XL/XE ranges), ST, and Jaguar, complete with emulators for each.

EDIT: As I was trawling my massive list of Atari software, it was actually my wife that remembered it straight away.

I even still have over 500 5.25" Atari floppy discs I am slowly going through, creating game images using a serial lead I purchased on Ebay from a Polish guy who made them, which connects the Atari 1050 disk drive to a PC's serial port and uses software to convert to a disk image. There is also another lead available (which I have not bothered with yet) which connects an Atari 8-bit computer to a PC using its serial port to play a disk image residing on a PC's hard drive, directly on the actual Atari computer instead of using the now very fragile discs. My Atari 800 is my pride an joy and still works perfectly after all these years. I remember it cost £645 new for a 16K machine and another £130 for two 16k modules to increase its maximum of 48k.

It wasn't road runner It was a 3D game, albeit a basic one. That's pretty much all I can remember about it. I'm about halfway through that huge list that was posted and still haven't found it!
