Munchees

OK kiddies, let's play a little game. I'll start describing the scenario of this cute little original game by Bubble Bus, and you tell me when you think you can guess the game before it loads All right ? Here we go: "... Living in a haunted mansion isn't much fun, especially when the ghouls take over. Muncher man must gather up all the food before the ghouls get him !' No, Muncher Man does not come from Munich, and I don't know why he doesn't get his food from the nearest McDonalds. Maybe he's a trendy veggie? I see you're going to need further clues. Muncher Man's house looks suspiciously like a maze, with lots of little round bits of food in it (Not yet! Wait a bit). You have to wander about the maze, eating the food, and avoiding the ghouls (now you can start guessing). When you eat a special pill (left over from a previous police raid), you can chase and eat the ghouls (but go easy on the spirits), getting a large bonus from your local exorcist as you do so.(You must have it by now). Fruits pop up in the maze at random. What do you mean, "I haven't got it yet?" Insert tape in ear, press any key and re-read from start. This fiippin' well is Pac Man, however deceptive the picture of the dinosaur might be on the cover. Mind you, with names like Classic Muncher, Back Man, or Ghost Gobbling or some such, waddya expect? Asteroids? You certainly don't get many hints from the loading screen - there isn't one. Another missing link is the sound effects - not exactly stunning, to say the least. At least you can use your own idea of keyboard and/or joystick layout. The sneaky bit that got me at the end of the first screen was that they went and changed the maze around. You don't see that on many Pac Man clones, though this one certainly swiped enough memory for several different maps. If you're into being grabbed by the ghoulies in the hedges with some fruit, then you could do worse than buy this one. Bubble Bus are currently running a competition on the high scores. The prize, more software. But don't let that influence you unnecessarily.

Seventh game released for the Epoch Cassette Vision, despite being labelled game six, due to a delay during production. A clone of Pac-Man but with an unorthodox maze layout using a plus and blocks to make up the arena.

Your goal is to fill the empty space and capture the monsters by building a wall around them. You can advance to the next level once 80% of the space is filled. Don't let the monsters touch you, and try to get the power-ups that appear randomly around the screen.

Despite the name, it's not an emulated version of the arcade game. Rather, it's a homebrew conversion of Pac-Man for the Amstrad CPC, in a way that tries to be the as arcade-perfect as it could with the CPC's hardware limits.

This is a DS port of Squirm, a PacMan style arcade game, from Commodore 16. It reuses all original graphics, in attempts to remain as faithful as possible to the original version. Navigate around the maze while steering clear of the Squirms. You need to find and eat 200 eggs laid by the Queen Squirm. And like PacMan, if a squirm gets to you, then you will be back to the start.

Small hero is lost in a big maze. Help him find the way out. Collect all coins needed for exit to be opened. Avoid monsters wandering around. Use various powerups to your advantage.

Maze Death Race is a Rally-X variant. The player controls a car and has to drive around a maze and collect a certain number of flags to complete a level. At the same time other cars chase the player's car and attempt to hit it. The number of cars are user defined in the ZX81 version and pre-defined in the ZX Spectrum version. In addition to chaser cars there are various traps on the roads that the player has to avoid hitting such as rocks, oil and ice. Unlike the original arcade game, in this version the player cannot use a smokescreen to confuse the chasers. Both versions allow the player to choose the speed of the AI cars. In the ZX81 version, it is also possible to choose if the car should have momentum while in the Spectrum version this is always the case.

Pac Rabbit is a Pac-Man clone where you take the role of a rabbit and you move about a maze eating all the dots to clear the maze. As you eat the dots you must avoid the hounds that are hunting you but you can eat magic carrots which enable you to eat the hounds for a short time. If you touch a hound then you lose one of ten lives. There are six mazes split into two parts, Rabbits Revenge and Run Rabbit Run and you can choose the speed of the game (0-9) with zero being the fastest.

A classic reinvented… with a spicy twist! Dive into Pepper Buster, a fiery reinterpretation of the legendary Pac-Man. Navigate haunted mazes, gobble up all the pac-dots, and avoid the relentless ghosts. But beware! Everything can change with explosive bonuses and penalties that add a thrilling twist to every game!
