You're right, Prometheus, about Munch Man. Your little guy would leave behind a chainlink as he sped around the track, and ate little blinking Texases for the powerups. It was like competitive fence-building. The maze didn't change, but the enemies did, and they got faster the further you went.
Bonus question! What level of Munch Man is my avatar from?
I never knew those bits to be blood spots in Hunt the Wumpus. They were just warnings that the Wumpus was nearby. Turns out, according to my dad, that they were really called "blood spots". Not that he ever let us get close to the manuals when we (my brother and I) were young...
I still say "Press Fire to begin" all the time... heh heh. Parsec rules.
I never had Alpiner, but my cousins did. We still fire that up just to hear all the stupid crap the guy says when he runs into a pine tree. "Yuck"??
How'd you do on that game? I would get to Everest, but I could never beat it.
