"Pac-man in a very thin disguise" is the fastest way of summing up this game. The graphics are rough, even for the Dragon. But there is one very nice transformation on the standard Pacman theme. Various sections of the maze are made up of swivelling gates. You can trundle your little gobbler through them, as through a turnstile.

Each time you pass through a gate, it opens up a section of the maze and closes off the section behind you.

The nasties can't spin the gate to get at you, but that doesn't stop them finding another way around. It just slows them up a little.

To make things more interesting, there are a couple of skulls scattered randomly through the maze. Hitting these is fatal for both you and the monsters.

The sound is as good as you want from a Pacman-style game. Each time you spin a turnstile or munch a dot, the Dragon warbles and tweets.

The pace of the game is faster than the traditional version. Like the fellow who got caught in a revolving door and found himself back in the room he wanted to leave, it is easy to take an unwanted trip through a turnstile. And when you hit several of them in a row, the chances are you'll find yourself flung into the jaws of your pursuers.

At any rate, you'll probably open more routes for the monsters than you close. Fun if you liked the original.
