Producer: Mogul Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £5.50 Author: Michael Welbourne Potty Planter is a mirror image 'Pacman' game, which is to say, you must guide your man about a series of mazes, dropping dots on the way, while ghosts chase you. Instead of four power pills and several ghosts, there are many such brown 'pills' dotted about and only two ghosts. As soon as you eat a ghost, another appears. The pills are only effective for a few seconds or for one ghost, which ever is the sooner. Bonus fruit lie all over. There is a wrap around tunnel horizontally, and an exit gate at the bottom right-hand corner which must be reached when the last dot has been laid. Occasionally a bird tries to eat your dots. COMMENTS Control keys: Q/Z up/down, I/P left/right, quite well placed Joystick: none Keyboard play: fairly responsive but not sufficiently so in a tight spot Use of colour: good Graphics: small, jerky but good maze Sound: reasonable Skill levels: 1 Lives: 3
Potty Planter turns out to be a Namcap.
