Retro Gaming Power

A really good clone of a classic arcade game and as close as you're going to get to Pac-Man at home on a retro machine without having your own arcade cabinet in your bedroom. Of course, if you don't like Pac-Man, you won't like this.

In summary, a totally excellent, classic game. Please note that this is the Version 1 Snapper; the Version 2 differs slightly. Read Review

Watch Pinky in particular... He's a bit of a psychopath: you just can't tell what he's going to do next. Read Review

Introduction

Guide the Snapper through the maze, eating dots and fruit while trying to avoid being eaten by the creatures that chase you. If you eat a flashing dot, they become edible - eat them quickly before they revert to Snapper-hunting mode. The game gets progressively faster, and with higher scores as the fruit increase in value. You must survive twelve screenfuls before catching a glimpse of the ultimate prize - the Acorn, worth 5,000 points!

The game is fully compatible with either keyboard or joysticks, includes score and ladder of high scores, magnificent colour graphics, and full sound effects. (Also suitable for black and white televisions).
