This was supposed to be ZX Computing's Chomper but the controls don't seem to work for some reason, so in its place is Pan Books' Chomper which is effectively the same game as both are Pac-Man clones. And well there isn't a lot to say here except it's Pac-Man and it's slow, it's basic, what did you expect? There are better clones and there are worse clones and it's not a good clone but not necessarily a bad one either. At least the controls worked, unlike the ZX Computing version.

Paul did a great job with this Pac Man clone. He wrote other games in Basic, such as Championship Boxing, and did a great job all the same. Chomper is yet another game totally written in Basic and plays better than other similar clones written in faster languages. The game features several different levels, making it competitive and the only letdown I can see is the one solitary ghost (more would certainly slow the game too much). Well done.

Average at best really. One ghost per screen does spoil it but it's what to expect with a game written in basic and as apart of a massive compilation of games. Saying that, this might have been one of the better games in that compilation.
