Pippo

[remember]

I used to play Pippo with my mum, who was a big fan on my ZX Spectrum. It was like a little space hopper that you made jump around a board of squares, which you coloured by jumping onto while being chased by flying saucers. As the levels got harder, you would have to uncolour and recolour squares, and some levels would even not colour when you had jumped on them so you had to remember where you'd been while still avoiding being captured or falling off the side of the board. Intense and like many games from yesteryear (ie, Tetris and Bubble Bobble) highly addictive!

Re: Pippo

I remember this and you can get it on emulation but didn't he/she remind you of a cross between Barbapappa and a pink rabbit? I could only get to the fourth level.
