No prizes for guessing what this program should really be called. Four ghostlike object pursue you around a maze and gobble you up

if they catch you. You have the opportunity of eating up to four power pills, each of which give you a temporary cbance of revenge.

The controls used are 1 and Q for Up and Down, 9 and 0 for Left and Right. A sensible approach, because using cursor keys is difficult using two hands, but one I still found confusing as I lend to forget which axis is controlled by which pair of keys.

The graphics are fine and the sound unusually clear for the Spectrum, but neither is particularly remarkable. Being a machine code program there is no jerkiness in the movement and so the game is perfectly playable from a keyboard, though not terribly exciting. A more than competent version of an overworked game.
