Description	In this game, your task is to walk around the screen, collecting the dots using QAOP keys, whilst avoiding some oversized turtles. You play a tribble-like entity that could possibly be mistaken for George from kids TV show Rainbow. Impressively, the game has a very high quality intro screen, and realistic samples that can sound quite menacing. This game requires +2A/+3 (not 128/+2) emulation in 128K mode as it uses the ramdisk to play the samples.
Comments	I love the intro sounds, reminiscent of a 50's B movie monster flick. Crapness abounds from the inability of the player sprite to change orientation, the complete sparseness of the play area, the dodgy collision detection with the dots. But an extra point is scored for the fact that when all dots are eaten, you just wonder around the dotless screen for eternity, or until you get killed. A nice touch and made me laugh anyway.
