Snackman (Tom Mix)

Snackman, you ponder, what does that remind me of? Oh, yes! It's Pacman. Another copy of the same game, under a new title. Maybe it's a bit much of me to ask for a slight variation, but I'm afraid it's not to be. Well, if you want to write a game with around ten copies on the market, you'd better make it good, but this was an awful failure; slowish, boring sound, a few standard high resolution graphics and you have Snackman - the lifeless colour made it even worse.

It had a good loader program, but I have seen so many better copies, that this is not even worth considering. I would not be surprised if many of the Vic owners reading this could do better.
