Trashman - Remake
A remake of the classic Spectrum game, Trashman, circa 1984 by New Generation Software.
Not all features of the original game are implemented, enough to play and have fun.
Collect the bins, empty the contents in the garbage truck and return the bin to the original place. You're being tested by the company, don't take too long. Help out the customers for some extra bonus time, and avoid the grass and the cars!

Very good game, and liked the comments from the homeowners. It was sometimes hard to remember which bins I'd already collected or where to put them back though.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I can't take credit for the homeowner comments, I pulled them from the original game to retain authenticity, so they must be attributed to Malcolm Evans, the author of the Spectrum original. Many of them are either a reference to the 8bit wars of the times, or to Spectrum games, it was funny extracting them from the original game and typing them in, very different times.
I did think about adding a "placeholder" for where to return the bin too, and might still add this, but the original didn't have it, so I didn't want to unduly affect the difficulty of the original.
