Reviews for Ghost Gobbler (#16667)

This is a version of ***man according to the game's intro screen, the things you do to avoid copyright while ripping off a game. It also says that "it is slow" and it wasn't kidding, normally you move a dot at a time and when you eat a power pellet you move two dots at a time, and annoyingly the ghosts are quickly than you and will catch up with you eventually if you are not careful, which doesn't seem bloody fair at all. In this game the dots are irrelevant apart from the power ones because is not to clear the whole level but eat the ghosts, which will be why it's called Ghost Gobbler then. Weirdly when you eat a power pellet the ghosts make your dots disappear as well as you do, as if they suddenly become on your side. So this "***man" game is slow, broken and not very good at all, in fact this may be one of the worst clones on the Spectrum.
