I was already dreading this when the title screen beeped upon each block graphic it drew. Took a quick look at the instructions, and apparently I have a live wire on my window sill. Isn't that a bit.. y'know... dangerous?

It's the usual BASIC random "chase the object around the screen" affair, with no score indication on screen and for some reason Pac-Man appears randomly with no means of escape.

Even in 1983 I would have been disappointed if I'd paid for this.

This is another of the Spectrum's notoriously bad games and is widely regarded as one of the worst games ever. You are a spider that has to eat twelve butterflies in a minute to survive or the purple spider eater, aka Purple Pac-Man, will eat you. With the game's very poor detection in that you will most likely go through the butterflies rather than eat them you'd be lucky to eat one in a minute rather than twelve. I don't even think it's even possible to get twelve in a minute, the most I've ever got is five and Ashens on his livestream for Stand Up to Cancer on YouTube somehow managed seven. But this is a classic bad game that has to be played to believe it. The fact that this was even published let alone sold in shops is astonishing.
