Fever_Discordia: Bump?
The shot is from the arcade version, I was surprised there WAS an arcade version because when I had it on tape for the C64 it looked just like any other Mastertronic budget game programmed by a 16 year old in his bedroom, but apparently not!
Exoanthrope: I think that's Motos. The fact that it uses the exact same score bar as Galaga and other Namco games makes it easy to search for.

Also, I only recently became aware of the existence of Datasette tapes. I couldn't imagine waiting for a tape to play through to load a game. And people complain about loading times nowadays...
Motos was an odd game BTW - it was static screen and your ship didn't fire, you had to push the enemies off the edge bumper-car style!
