1986 The Edge (UK)
by Robert and Trevor Figgins
The object of the game is to find Bobby's brothers scattered around the Metaplanes and drive them safe out of there.
The game features a new technique called Curvispace 3D which means the balls roll over uneven surfaces.
Its safe to say that Bobby Bearing is one of the best 3D games ever produced on the Speccy. From its graphics, animation, the convincing movements and the general playability, everything is brilliantly well thought out, if only the Spectrum allowed better use of colour.
Also it has one of the most interesting screen loaders around.

I've always thought that it looks fantastic [although all samey], but the gameplay is a bit lukewarm.
Also, it's boring having to push back the other balls. A bit of a chore. My feeling is that it's been a little overrated.
3,5/5
