Snack Attack is a 1982 computer game for the Apple II family of computers, created by Dan Illowsky and published by Datamost.
[edit] Gameplay
Snack Attack closely imitates the well-known Pac-Man arcade game which had begun its rise to popularity two years earlier. The player controls a small, white character, moving it through various maze-like levels, gobbling green and purple dots and avoiding the four roaming ghosts. The game's instructions refer to the dots as "gumdrops" and the ghosts as the "Gumdrop Guards." The player uses the J, K, W and S keys to move the character left, right, up or down.
[edit] Sequel
A follow-up title, Snack Attack II, was co-authored by Michael Abrash and Dan Illowsky and published in late 1982 by Funtastic. The game is quite similar to the original, but with various improvements and enhancements.
