The advertisement for this game does not, in my opinion, do the product justice. The object of the game is to paint the screen of the TRS-80 white, using the arrow keys or a joystick if available.

There is a dog that occasionally appears on the right of the screen and walks across your paintwork leaving black paw prints. There is also a puppy that holds a turpentine bucket, a snake and a turpentine bucket that you can only eliminate when it is not flashing.

In addition to the normal process of gaining points for stopping the dog, leading the snake into the turpentine bucket and painting the screen white, the game has the additional features of sound, pausing a game while in play and very fast action.

To me, the game has a touch of Pac Man about it and would probably appeal to those who liked that game. One or two people may play on a variety of skill levels.
