Before you get all excited about Alien, there is another game that I
think that would be even better. Don't really know the name of it, but..
You are a cat and there are dogs after you (I think it is similar to
mousetrap) but instead of doors and bones, you eat something that turns
you into a dog catcher and then you chase the dogs. It is very well
done. If I can find the name, I'll let you know. Maybe someone out there
knows the game I am talking about. I think it is the best Pac-like game
for the 2600, besides Pac-Jr. and Ms. Pac.
