Apologies for the lack of clues. I was going to send you all off hunting through Harry S. Price games (there aren't that many, and they're all browser-playable from the database) but trying to write a game from scratch for WOOT is taking up every spare moment right now...

Do I get half points for guessing it was some kind of car? :lol:
