Sir Slurp-A-Lot

As the title of Sir Slurp-A-Lot suggests, there's a distinctly boozy theme to this game.

The screen displays a pub, set out as a simple maze of bars along which appear glasses in four different colours. As the contents of each glass are consumed, points are scored, the number depending on its colour.

Before starting, you select the time limit, from 45 seconds to three minutes, for which you are prepared to race Sir Slurp-A-Lot through the maze, imbibing the various drinks as he goes.

His movements may be controlled by either the arrow keys or a joystick.

His carefree revelling, however, is periodically interrupted by the resident poultergeist who wanders invisibly through the maze drinking and smashing glasses.

He exerts a sobering influence on Sir Slurp-A-Lot who becomes transfixed until the poultergeist has finished his wanderings.

Should your man crash into one of the broken glasses or bump into a wall, the game ends before time and the highest score is given. There is also a comment on your performance - or is it more your level of intoxication?
