For years the ghosts have chased the chomper around the maze. This time, you are the ghost.

You play the red ghost. The computer controls the chomper and the other three ghosts, who are after him too.
There can only be one winner: catch him yourself and you move up a level; let another ghost get him and you lose a life.


How to play

- Catch the chomper before the pink, cyan and green ghosts do.
- You lose a life if another ghost catches him or if he eats every dot in the maze.
- If he eats a power pill, the tables turn and he hunts you. Run!
- The faster you catch him, the more points you score. Everyone gets faster each level.

The chomper isn’t dumb: he finds the shortest path to the dots, dodges the ghosts he sees coming,
and heads for a power pill when he’s cornered.
