Loco is a video game developed by Antony Crowther and released by Alligata for the Commodore 64 in 1984.[2] Loco is a clone of the 1982 Sega arcade game Super Locomotive. The game was later ported to the ZX Spectrum and Atari 8-bit computers. The ZX Spectrum port was developed by Richard Stevenson and Nigel Speight.[3] The music for the game is a version of Jean-Michel Jarre's Equinoxe 5 and 6 by Ben Daglish.[4][2]
Crowther's subsequent Suicide Express is related to Loco, though not an official sequel.[5]
In July 1984 Loco was awarded game of the month by Personal Computer Games magazine.[6]
