In 1983, the console video-game market crashed into a landfill in the American southwest. Arcades were a different story, though, as companies like Universal, Namco, and Williams hit their stride with classics which endure to this day. During this period, independent companies got in on the continuing arcade boom, with conversion packs that gave cabinet owners entirely new games for the price of a few ROMs. Most of these games were real stinkers, but a few, like Super Glob, definitely earned our quarters.
Gameplay: The Glob is a little blue guy who looks an awful lot like one of the ghosts from Pac-Man. Your job is to move him around each level and munch all the snacks before he runs out of energy. Use elevators to move from floor to floor, and your magical glob energy to stick to the ceiling and drop down on The Mob, a spastic little group of frogs, alligators, rabbits, monkeys, and pigs who are out to munch you themselves, or crush you with an elevator.
