Rooster Run - Samurai Software

[Lardycake70]

Hi.

I have finally got around to cataloging my Spectrum collection and have come across a game called Rooster Run by Samurai Software. The cover art looks distinctly home made and when I began researching it, I came up against a bit of a brick wall with nothing more than it exists and that's pretty much it. I just wondered if anybody had any further info on the game or the developer and whether I should attempt to back this up to a TZX file?

Any and all info gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Seems like it's a MIA title. So yes, preserve it if you can!

You could either produce a .tzx file of the tape, or upload a .wav recording and someone can make a .tzx from that.

The cover and a few extra details are in the database...

...but not a copy of the game itself.

If you go to this page for one of their other games...

You can see some extra material, such as advertising for Rooster Run,..

(listed as Amstrad-only at that point)

From the description on the advert and the screenshots from the CPC version, I see it's a Frogger clone.

Firstly, I'm loving your forum name!

Yes please to a TZX file. That would be great. Scans of the cover as well if you can. Thank you for sharing.
