Tape 9: Pack Rat + Pack-Rat II

Tape 9: Pack Rat + Pack-Rat II © 1981 WaveMakers

Pack-Rat is a maze game that lets you pack it away for points while trying to avoid the relentless cat. Pack-Rat II, has the same maze, but for a change of pace, has a slightly more aggressive cat.

When the maze appears on the screen, you will be the smaller box in the lower-center portion of the screen. The cat is the larger moving box in the upper portion. Move your piece to eat up all the dots (cheese) for points. Keep your distance from the cat, he can be very clever. When the BONUS begins to flash in the center, you must avoid eating any dots and run to get the bonus by backtracking where there are no dots. If you eat more than 5 dots, the bonus will begin to stop flashing and you miss your chance for big points.

Each dot is worth one point. The BONUS is worth 100 and increases by 100 with each additional BONUS. The game is over after you get 'CHOMPED' 3 times. Just pull the trigger for a new game.
