Hey guys, i remember this game that i used to LOVE back in the 80's for the c64, i cant remember the name but you flew a space ship (but i dont think you were ever in space) but you would fly through different levels and they were all inclosed with walls - sometimes the walls would move to try and crush you. im pretty sure the theme music was the same theme music from the beverley hills cop movies.
im trying my best to remember exactly what was in the game but its been soo long since ive played it. anyone have any idea what im talking about???? |

Was there anything else on the levels? Or where the walls the only thing?

| I can not remember if the walls moved or the music, but it sounds like Zaxxon. |

Yeah! Parallax is one of the best C64 games around. I just love it and there is a remake in the making for some time now.
