Okay, how much do we need to bail him out of Rahlcatraz or for a return ticket from Mingapulco?

I got my Commodore 64 in 1989 and since I was eight at the time and unscrupulously amoral I pirated everything in sight. I had a big pile of tapes full of illegal games, and let's face it, the c64 was a pirate's dream.
In fact, I only owned four games,* and I got all of those at the same time. By the time I got them for christmas 1989 this game and its three companion titles had all been out for a couple of years and had been bundled together in a four-floppy pack containing all four games. The game I'm after was the pick of the lot really- we could intuitively understand the rules here in Sweden (unlike the two american-specific titles) and the graphics were clear and nicely done (unlike the fourth game).
*This is technically a lie. I also owned a copy of Postman Pat which I never understood and in which Pat's car kept getting stuck on objects. After a particularly futile and buggy session I took out the casette and pulled all the tape out, then binned it. I felt guilty about it for weeks afterwards.

Er, that was the clue right there. The story of how I guessed Monty On The Run is much more improbable and complicated.

No, no, that wasn't the clue, it was the post before it! Dammit. I need to learn to label stuff more clearly.

Dang...I really thought that I was closer than Cap. You said that the rules were intuitively understood by the Swedes, so I assumed that this sport must be big in Sweden.
First I thought Bandy, but I couldn't come up with any c64 Bandy games. Then I thought that it had to be Hockey, but no...it was an American game.
THAT CLUE WAS FVCKING MISLEADING, BUCK

Bigger in sweden than American Football and Baseball, that's for sure.
We regularly played Basketball in Gym class, and it's got a reasonably big public following. Plus it's quite easy to understand intuitively unlike the more complex American Football or Baseball.
The clue was more along the lines of "Series of four sports games, some of which were published in 1987", which is what Cap got I'd guess. Either that or he recognised the CPU-Human screen in which case he's damn cool.

yah, I win again  but at the same time I feel kinda lame for knowing all this computergame trivia 
Another 8-bit game, mid 80's released for the C64 (and Apple?)
Okay okay, being the first of its ilk it isn't well known.
It would still take some years before the concept had grown...
It's successor truly mastered phrasing.
But the first game is amazing...

Actually it was a combination of both. it had something to do with sports but there are tons of sportgames for the c64. I remember the original street sports games from the reviews. The moment I spotted that picture I knew I had it.

None of the above, but you're moving in the right direction.
