Fairground-style game, in which
you drop the ball through the maze of pins and have to catch it at the
bottom and deliver it into the scoring hole. The little cutaways give you
a chance of glimpsing which direction the ball is going as it bounces
around behind the sticker. The officially-licenced Pac-Man version is
particularly interesting - the maze is transparent, so you can follow the
path of the balls more accurately, and there are 10 balls instead of the
six in the other versions. Also, Pac-Man's mouth chomps open and closed as
he moves along, although it makes no difference to his ball-catching
ability.
