Trashman is a computer game developed by Malcolm Evans for the ZX Spectrum and released by New Generation Software in 1984. Later the same year, it was followed by Travel with Trashman. The game got good reviews for its detailed graphics, good use of colours, and the use of BRIGHT and NORMAL colours to create an effect of shadow. (Bourne 1984)
