|    Trying to remember the name of this game    |

      Hello all,       I am trying to remember the game, but it is evading me. It was a top       down type game similar to Pacman but the maze structure was a lot       smaller since all the characters were much bigger. The players       character was a guy in a space suit with a laser blaster (shot red       beams). You could move up down left or right and when you did your       character turned facing the blaster in that direction. The monsters       were green (I think although they were different types) and wandered       around. If you impacted them it looked like you melted or got ate with       a sucking type sound. After winning a few levels by shooting all the       monsters there would be a mystery bonus person/object that would quickly       flip though the screen. It looked like a person and was purple if I       remember right. If you shot it you got a mystery point amount. The       game music really sped up when the mystery object was around. The start       up screen showed all the monsters from lowest point to highest (lowest       at top highest at bottom) and the mystery person/object at the vary       bottom. Pressing the fire button started the game. The maze/screen had       a Sci-fi feel and changed as you went up in levels.              Sound like a game anyone remembers?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)    |
