A short presentation of Dan Illowsky and Michael Abrash's Snack Attack II, published by Funtastic for the IBM PC in 1982

The game is a port of Illowsky's 1981 Apple II game Snack Attack published by Datamost.
Dan Illowsky and Michael Abrash were some of the early developers who helped bring fast-paced and arcade-like games to IBM's new personal computer.

Snack Attack II was extremely well-engineered but required 64k of memory and a color graphics adapter (CGA) to run. It became the best Pac-Man clone available on the system and was one of the first games that could be controlled by a joystick.

I'll add more info here along with a link to my blog when my write-up on Snack Attack is complete.
