Subject: Name of the game.
Hi,

During the 1980s my brother had a BBC Micro, and subsequently an acorn
archimedes. I am trying to remember the name of a game, but I can't
remember which of these two machines it ran on. My brother was the
computer enthusiast!

Anyway, the game involved moving my character around a maze. Not
really a maze, more like some interconnected lines. I would be pursued
by robots, and I could hit the space bar to drop a temporary block in
the line. This would make the robot go back along the line, giving me
some more time.
As I travelled along the lines the part of lines I had been along
would change colour, and I think I had to visit all parts of the
'maze' in order to progress to the next evel.

I really enjoyed this game.

Any ideas on the name/maker of it? I think my kids would realy love
this game now.

Regards

Crazy Painter by Acornsoft. There might have been an alternative
version though.
