Overlander

A Roadblasters clone that looks ok on the surface and the weapons upgrades are a plus but after the first few stages the difficulty ramps up too quickly and the repetitive nature of the stages doesn't really provide any urge to continue. Could have been better with a bit more care and attention.

Nice picture on the loading screen and good music; graphics are quite average for a racing game, they could have put more effort in the backgrounds but sprites aren't bad. Better than Fire & Forget II or Chase HQ but not as good as Turbo Charge, it feels like a decent budget game but nothing more.

What a great game! I spent most my free time in the past couple days playing this one, thanks to a friend who provided me a disk original. Its a nice car-shooter that requires a little bit of strategy and planning by purchasing upgrades and weapons between levels, altogether an 8. 5/10 IMO

I love Richard Underhill's sequence tape loader, which was exclusively used in this game (I don't think I have seen the loader on any other titles). Loader with a nice 3D star field. Excellent music. The game itself is marvellous.

I'm quite with the comments below: Great soundtrack, dense atmosphere, but alas, just an average game --> could've been a classic.

It was "ok" to me, but comparing driving games, they either got it VERY right... Or not so good. In this case average..

Wow, this game was really amazing. I loved the music, it's just one of my C64 favourite soundtracks. Graphic was nice and gameplay, although not varied, was ok. The original idea and game story makes this game really original. 8/10 for me.

Ok game with excellent music!

The loading music is amazing! I always found the game itself quite hard though.

I really loved this game because it was the first one I ever played on a C64! The graphic is OK and the music is SUPERB! Mark Cooksey did a great job with it. A very good game!

I just bought this game and played a little bit, nice action racing game, nothing spectacular but plays well. 8/10.
