You're the trail boss on the last great cattle drive. Ride hard down the open range, lasso stray cattle before they escape, and dodge rattlesnakes, cacti, and the chaos of a full stampede. When the lake floods the trail, you'll need to keep your herd moving through water and mud alike — all against the clock.
Trail Drive is an original ColecoVision game inspired by the golden age of Activision classics. Choose from three difficulty levels — Junior Wrangler, Semi-Pro, and Trail Boss — as the herd moves faster, spawns thicker, and the timer cuts shorter. Catch as many head of cattle as you can before time runs out, but watch your step: one wrong move and a snake bite or cactus collision will shake you to your boots.
Featuring hand-drawn sprites, a full western soundtrack with "Happy Trails" on the title screen, dynamic weather events, roaming wildlife, and a demo mode that plays itself when you step away from the controller. How big a herd can you bring home?
Trail Drive draws heavy inspiration from Activision's Stampede (1981) and Konami's Antarctic Adventure (1983) — blending the side-scrolling livestock wrangling of one with the obstacle-dodging endurance run of the other, all wrapped in a classic American West setting.
The game features three difficulty tiers — Junior Wrangler, Semi-Pro, and Trail Boss — each ramping up the speed, cattle spawn rate, and hazard density while cutting the timer shorter. The dynamic weather system floods the trail with lake water, changing the terrain mid-run.
Trail Drive is an original DiRoccoVision title built from the ground up for the ColecoVision, using a 128KB Megacart ROM to pack in hand-drawn sprites, a full western soundtrack, demo mode, and roaming wildlife across the open range.
