   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?
