Banana Man

Banana Man is a grid game with a tropical flavour, even if your fruit are squashed in sandwiches.

As the Banana Man himself, you must rush around and gobble at least 40 sandwiches in a minute. Extra points can be scored by consuming the occasional peeled banana or by attacking Ethel the Cat, a smug pussy which sometimes materializes.

The game is played on a grid around whose squares you manoeuvre the Banana Man, a cheery character with a chubby yellow face. Opposition is provided by the pink spiders which appear when a peeled banana has been eaten. You must also avoid being enclosed by squares which have turned blue.

Banana Man's graphics are colourful and, although it won't set your pulse racing, it's good fun to play.
