Official description

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 prize - the Acorn, worth 5000 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).
