Chocablock (Paramount)

In Chocabloc for the 8K expanded Vic 20, you must move about the screen avoiding the chocbeez and trying to line up the three chocbars. The ice blocks make a maze wall, so you may think it is a bit like Pacman, but you can move any block that is free on one or more sides, this will keep on moving until it hits a chocbee or another chocabloc (confusing isn't it)?

The way to get on to the next stage is to kill all the chocbeez. You get a bonus for completing a stage, and a very big bonus for lining up all three chocbars. You can push your way through ice blocks covered on three sides, but it takes time. Each stage, or "act" as it is called, gives a different maze with faster chocbeez.

It has good instructions and a high-score table to five places. All in all a very, very good game, but a bit hard to get used to.
