Snapper

A game on disk for the BBC Microcomputer Model B

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, the creatures 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 thirteen screenfuls before catching a glimpse of the ultimate price - the Acorn, worth 5,000 points!

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

The Game

Guide the Snapper through the maze eating dots and fruit while trying to escape the creatures from the cave. When you eat a flashing dot they turn blue and become edible; eat them quickly while you can. Uneaten creatures start to flash just before they are due to change back again.

When you have eaten all the dots, you tackle a new screenful. The game gets progressively faster, and with higher scores as the fruit increase in value. You start with three Snappers, but can earn another one by scoring 15,000 points. You must survive twelve screenfuls before catching a glimpse of the ultimate prize - the Acorn, worth 5,000 points!
