No one's guessing so can we zoom it out a bit? :-)

Nightmare Rally

Not sure why it has a racecar for the lives, a Lambo(?) for the loading screen and cassette cover, and a Ford Escort as the actual in-game car. :lol:

Did any Speccy game ever have an appropriately-attired female protagonist?
This one didn't.

Yep.

I figured as it wasn't one I had come across, that it might be trickier.

It's one I never played, but since it got a Crash smash back in the day and had a female heroine in monochrome graphics, it was fairly easy to remember.

Here's the next one then:

Oh, you got that wrong. I was talking about Hammerfist being a Crash smash. Hence "Here's the next one then" after that bit.

Depends on one's definition of "appropriate" but I'd say the costumes were all bang on the money :-)

Oh, it's Danger Mouse in Double Trouble.

I used to have that game, but I only remembered the flying stage with the notes, and the jumping on the lights, finger-first, bit. (Wha??)

I'd completely forgotten about the last stage where you have to climb the tree.

Correct. I've only played the game once as I was borrowing two mini suitcases full of tapes of copied games in 1987. I loaded it up to see if I wanted to copy it - nah, it was fairly naff.

I keep thinking this is from some driving game but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.
