LIFE is hard on the mega galactic trail. Only the elite rise to the dizzy heights of the trailblazers. The action takes place on a gigantic conveyor belt in space and you are in control of a spinning football.  
Whip the conveyor up to full speed and you'll soon be scoring points - the faster you go, the more you score. It is at this point that you notice occasional holes in the conveyor, which become more and more frequent as you progress into the game. The belt is divided into coloured squares the significance of which soon becomes apparent. White squares cause you to bounce, which can often be used to your advantage. Green squares stop you dead, which is a nuisance as some gaps must be jumped at full speed if you are to clear them. Worst of all are the blue squares - these reverse the left and right movements of the joystick. There are two ways of playing the game — arcade mode, which starts you on level A with five balls, or the three course test, in which you select three levels from A to N. Trailblazer is graphically stunning and so fast that you just wouldn't believe it! Jon Revis, CWTA
