I found it odd that Quicksilva's Berzerk clone on the Speccy was called "Frenzy". It came out in 1983, mind you, so no need for time travel.

Great game, hard as fuck. Never managed to finish more than 2 planets in a row on a single coin. The jungle was particularly punishing.

I seem to recall "Atomic Runner Chelnov" being advertised for home computers, but can only appear to find information relating to console ports and the Sharp X68000?

I don't think this is one I personally encountered, though it does ring a vague bell - "Ajax" (you may know it better from its home ports under the title "Typhoon"):

Ok, I got another one.
Must have been around 1988-1989 maybe, kinda like Ghosts n Goblins but not as fast. I remember a forest level with tall trees. It also had a shop. Maybe an elf character, thin-ish. It's all very blurry in my mind.

"Karnov" maybe?

It wasn't Willow was it? As in the arcade game of the movie? Or Astyanax?

I liked Tac-Scan but only ever saw one arcade cab in weymouth back in the day -



Weird the way the fire missile disappeared and restarted if you pressed the fire button whilst it was in flight....alonng these lines I think I only ever saw one Major Havoc machine in WSM too.
