ДЇortunately, I got hold of another game for the computer, a collection even: Classic Collection II, this one. Was a very disappointing game for me, cost me a lot of money and I never came any further than chasing bees. The game is telling me that I caught some bees? What do I want with them? And what do they have to do with that guy dressed in black on the cover?Д«ut catching something must be good, so naturally I always chased the 'bees' when they appeared on the screen. I don't know how, but I even managed to get the connection from 'caught' to 'catch', so. 'been' - boy, this is a tough one! Finally, I found something in the dictionary that looked familiar - 'bee'. 'have' - well, I did or got something, sounds good. When the stick figures touched my figure the text 'You have been caught' was shown on the monitor.ДЄgain, little me didn't know any English, so I grabbed a dictionary, thumbed through it and translated the sentence word by word. I could walk left, right, up and down, with no big changes to the map: After every move I still saw the same squares, just sometimes other stick figures appeared. The game greeted me with a horrible stick figure standing in the middle of a map of (I think) 5x5 squares. The instructions to the game where in English, so it took me a while until I finally managed to start it. I put 70DM on the counter and took my new possession home, eager to explore the worlds my new treasure would show me. Raid' (and with that name I'm sure every one of you can understand why I can't even google a single image of it. Two of them were made by Infocom (one even the infamous 'The Lurking Horror', if I recall correctly), but since I didn't know any English back then the salesperson recommended a game called 'S.A.S. Off we drove to the nearest city, entered a computer shop and lo and behold, they had not one, but three different games for the Joyce.

My father wasn't too keen on computer games, so it took me some weeks of begging to be allowed to buy myself a game for this wondrous machine. (Those of you living in the UK might know it from its original manufacturer, Amstrad.) When I was a kid my father decided he needed a computer and bought a Schneider PCW 8512, also known as Joyce. Sit back, children, gramps is talking about his childhood. I've tracked down pretty much all of the once unknown games I've played in my youth, but finding this one has been an interesting adventure so far, especially the moment when other people contacted me about it.

I posted about this game on the Abandonia and Mobygames forums and on Reddit a while ago and someone from Austria actually contacted me about a year ago, saying they also remember the exact name and some details about the game, so there are now like four people I know that have played this extremely obscure piece of software that nobody seems to know anything about. I remember the goal was to collect diskettes and CDs I think, there might've been some speakers and music notes in there, lots of colorful and eye-bleeding gradients, and I remember it worked really slow-mo on what might've been a 486 PC. It was a platformer, not sure if single screen or scrolling, very simple graphics, looked very much like something made in RSD Game-Maker. I've never been able to find any info on it, no screenshots, videos or anything, and for a while I thought I might've mixed it up with something else, although my brother and I both remember it, if somewhat vaguely. There's a DOS game called Sound Race I played in the mid 90's, found it in a pack of BASF diskettes.
