W - Right
P - Increase speed
L - Decrease speed
Space - Jump

The aim of the game is to guide the ball down each of the 14 courses as quickly as possible, whilst avoiding the holes and other obstacles, each course has its own time limit. Differently shaded squares have different effects, these are shown below:

Shaded squares - normal effect.
Dark shaded squares - reverse controls.
Vertical lines - increase speed.
Horizontal lines - decrease speed.
Light squares - bounce.

NOTE: You must be in "arcade mode" to score points! Press 4, then use the left/right controls to select arcade mode, then press fire to start.

Thunder into the unknown at a breakneck speed, pushing your reflexes to their limits in this definitely exhilirating journey that's not one for the fainthearted.
Roll left, roll right avoiding the endless chasms of doom that lay in and around the squares of mystery. Squares that will sometimes slow your progress, on occasion with fatal consequences and sometimes speed up unexpectedly or make you jump automatically. Keep a keen eye on the clock as the quicker you complete your task the higher will be your bonus.

Err..., right, ok. Didn't actually play the game to get top score! The whole thing crashed so, if my score can be scrubbed granting JMK his (current!) rightful position, I foresee a bunch of happy Trailblazers.

I've just experienced the same issue. Trailblazer crashes every time I try it - and has registered a rather bizaree score to remove.

We replaced TAP with new one. Try now.
