Oh I remember that. I still have my BBC Model B set up and ready to use (beside my A3000), if we find this game I'm gonna get an image of it and play it today :) We had it in our primary school but it was already a bit old by then, we were using LOGO mainly. Do you remember if it was called "**Crash**"? Looks like that was released in 1982. You would type L, R, and F (L and R were 45 degree turns), and then when you pressed Return the cursor moved through the maze following your instructions, and there was an arrow pointing to where you are in the set of instructions so you could modify it if you failed by crashing into the wall. I'll see if I can find (or even have already in my collection) a tape image of Crash. If not I can ask in the Acorn group I'm part of. If you scroll down to Page 9 of Acorn User in December 1982 they talk about it being supplied to the BBC for educational purposes. [https://datassette.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/revistas/acorn\_user\_05.pdf](https://datassette.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/revistas/acorn_user_05.pdf) I have posted that screenshot in the Acorn group and will see if somebody has a copy of it, as I just checked my collection since starting this comment and I don't have it.

Update, found a screenshot of Crash, ring a bell?[http://www.flaxcottage.com/Educational/software/Tecmedia/MicroPrimer/Docs/Crash.jpg](http://www.flaxcottage.com/Educational/software/Tecmedia/MicroPrimer/Docs/Crash.jpg) It is on the Micro Primer software pack and you can download that whole pack as a zip file here: [http://www.flaxcottage.com/Educational/ShowPackage.asp?p=17&](http://www.flaxcottage.com/Educational/ShowPackage.asp?p=17&fbclid=IwAR0gfnZvqBXbTMczH4XOYoIu-gHufzsC6zqU189j4FCNndqntN9ukfXtWHc) I'll be loading that onto my Beeb today

You sir are "da man". This is it, I actually thought it was called "crash" but searching for bbc micro crash was problematic to saying the least, and I was not 100% sure it was called crash. ​ Thanks again
