Cruncher is a Snake-type game. You look like Dusty Bin and as you stomp around the screen you devour squares and create voids that can't be crossed, but there again you can't fall down them either. You can, however, scroll horizontal lines of squares across the screen - if you're clever enough - and wrap around the screen so that if you walk off the top you appear at the bottom.

The task is to get to the squares containing time bombs before they count down to zero. Avoid the skull and crossbone mines whatever you do and score bonuses by taking in the squares with golf flags. And all the time a big pair of 'bovver boots' is out to get you. These blue boots proliferate over the frames and are eventually joined by intelligent white ones. You can literally run rings round the blue ones - but oh those whites!

Nice sound effects - I like the pitter-patter of Dusty's shuffle. Otherwise, average.
