WELCOME/Text0

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

SNAPPER

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
the   creatures turn  blue  and  become
edible ... eat them quickly  while  you
can.  Uneaten  blue 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   increases
in   value.   You   start   with  three
SNAPPERS,    but   can  earn    another
one   by  scoring  15000 points.    You
must    survive     twelve   screenfuls
before  catching   a   glimpse  of  the
ultimate  prize   ......   the   Acorn,
worth 5000 points!
