This is a basic, solid Vectrex title. One nice thing is
that you don't need the overlay to play this game, in
fact it doesn't really add anything. Another nice thing
is the twist on the traditional Pac-Man theme.
In this game the dots are money that was strewn about
by careless robbers who are trying to eliminate you (the
bad guys in the maze). The novel feature is that you drive
a vaccuum that eventually gets full, and you have to drop
off the money in the vault in the center before you can
get any more dots.
You're going to want to have a controller that centers
nicely for this game, it helps. Also the one design feature
I don't like is that when you go through a tunnel, you
appear immediately on the other side, while the bad guys
come through gradually. Messes up my timing.
I wouldn't say this is a must-have game but its a nice
addition to the library, one that works fine if you find
a loose cartridge without the overlay somewhere or play
it off the multicart.
