Boris The Spider needs flies and snails to keep alive and it is your job to see that he gets them. Lower him on his thread to catch the flies, worth more points the lower they are, and the snails, worth 500 points each.

You get bonus points after catching ten flies, but be careful - if a fly hits the spider's thread, or if Boris runs out of energy due to a lack of nourishment, he crashes to the ground.

Boris The Spider was written for the BBC B by Simon Rear of Immingham, South Humberside.
