Mountie Mick’s Death Ride – The C64 Game That Put You on Top of a Moving Train

️ Mountie Mick’s Death Ride (1987) – Commodore 64 Action Platform Train Adventure Released in 1987 by Timedata Ltd and published by Ariolasoft for the Commodore 64, Mountie Mick’s Death Ride is a fast-paced action-platformer that casts players as a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer battling criminals aboard speeding freight trains. You must run, jump, and fight across the tops and undersides of moving wagons, carefully timing leaps between carriages while managing a limited supply of bullets and grenades. Survival depends on collecting key items such as gas masks and torches, which are essential for navigating hazardous sections including gas-filled compartments and dark tunnels. The game features side-scrolling stages with parallax backgrounds that enhance the illusion of high-speed travel, adding a strong sense of motion and urgency to each level. Progress is challenged by demanding level design and sometimes unreliable controls, with certain stages containing bugs that can block advancement.
