Happy Trails is a video game programmed by Carol Shaw for the Intellivision console and released by Activision in 1983.[2] The player must navigate a character through a broken maze to collect gold.[3] Shaw previously wrote River Raid for the Atari 2600.[1]
Happy Trails is a clone of the 1982 Konami arcade game Loco-Motion.[4] Mattel was working on an official port, but Happy Trails was published first, resulting in Loco-Motion being sold at a discount and without any marketing support.[4]
Reception
Joystik magazine wrote, "This is a great game. The strategic possibilities are seemingly endless," giving an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars.[5]
