Crazee Rider: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
These are the same 1986 motorcycle-racing game, coded separately by the original author for two different 8-bit machines. Per the author's own account, the Acorn Electron build shows fewer bike riders on screen at once and lacks the mid-screen palette change present in the BBC Micro version, both due to the Electron's slower hardware — though the Electron version does let players redefine the three main palette colors from the title screen as a partial workaround.
