Edge Grinder is the first Format War "Collabortition" (a combination of collaboration and competition, we made that up an' everything!) with the plan being for programmers on other 8-bits to consider ways to convert it from the C64 to their platform of choice.

THE STORY
Guide brave test pilot Lim Tandell, flying his prototype spaceship through the artificial Edge World and suddenly finding himself under attack. It becomes Limbo's job to destroy the evil creatures, freeing the world from their tyranny. Along with blowing away enemies and battling through the Edge World itself, Lim Tandell can further boost his score by taking the risk of grinding his ship against the edge of the landscape.
