I just realised I don't have this game in my archive :shock: It is much easier than the v1 Snapper - I played it in the browser for the first time too, very convenient. I've been to the "Acorn" in the original Snapper a couple of times, but it is LOL fast and I'm not sure I have the reactions for that these days #-o So this is my opener 48,780. I liked another one of Jonathan Griffiths games, Rocket Raid - a bit jerky here and there, but a good, solid game. Having a browse around I noticed a five-way Snapper with up to four human players controlling the ghosts - that sounds like a laugh. Although the controls are going to be nigh on impossible. Got me thinking of an interface to connect to a heavily modified Beeb keyboard to run out five joystick ports (just thinking out loud, someone's probably done it already)

Had to wade in late this round as I've been away. This is my first go for a number of years. I used to be able to get to the acorn rounds. I wasn't really that far off on this go though.
