That's interesting, because I searched for any official games released at the time thinking that something based on this would be a no-brainer. It's essentially a glorified Tiger Handheld, but anything I found was a Terrahawks game in name only and just very loosely related to the show. The Spectrum version I saw was closest, whilst simultaneously looking like a choppy wireframe nightmare.

Yes I went looking on the interwebs myself and came up with nothing so was doubting myself
Until my brother said that he remembers it as well and used to brag about the high scores in the same way the Sgt Major did :)
I'm leaning towards a small ST promo release as opposed to MSX - back then I worked for a retail shop that sold computers and was on the mailing lists of many companies - to the extent I was still getting demo copies and shop demo software long into the 2000's :)

Quite a few public domain Amiga games I loved are lost to the mists of time
and it must be the same for the ST. If it was featured on a coverdisk it's probably out there somewhere... If it was mail ordered from a PD classified ad (or one of your weird promos) then you might be out of luck.

Indeed.
After a bit of a head search I am now 90% sure it was a PD of some sort but the chances of finding it are slim to remote as I did give a lot of them away. I have a feeling it was stopped for copyright infringement (a bit like Jelly Monsters on the VIC 20 was) but on a smaller scale. I can ask Jamie Anderson via the tweeter/X but it would have been out before he was born so I doubt he would have any info.

I assume you're not thinking of something as obvious as Starglider?
The demo for it was everywhere at one point.
