Nam-Cap [Model 1500]

Nam-Cap © 198? New Image

Don Gladden of New Image has come up with quite an entertaining version
(in reverse) of the popular Midway coin-op PAC-MAN. In fact, there are six variations of NAM-CAP on the cassette, each unique in its own way.

So what is a NAM-CAP, you might be wondering. To use Don's words, the
little guy finally ate too many dots and ghosts. Now he's spitting them out! The object of this game is to FILL the maze with dots.

What New Image has done is to take the PAC-MAN game concept and
reverse it. You have a maze, with tunnels on each side, that is devoid of dots. You steer the NAM-CAP guy through the maze, trying to fill it with dots, while simultaneously avoiding the pursuing block-shaped object. During the chase, your guy will, on his own, deposit stationary ghosts in three different places that neither he nor his pursuer may pass through. To attempt this will mean his destruction.

NAM-CAP is for one to four players, is in color, and offers the choice of one to ten turns. The graphics are good; in fact, the ghosts are just like the ones in PAC-MAN. There are several different mazes. A new one will appear each time you complete one. In the six versions, the speed of movement is faster than some of the others. In version four, you disappear after 500 points, the maze disappears at 1,000 points, and after 1,500 points, both disappear!
