This is the first review in a series focused on games I spent time with during my most recent trip to Funspot. Be sure to request games for me to cover the next time I go!
Released by Epos in 1983, The Glob (alternately titled Super Glob) is an obscure maze game that runs off of converted Pac-Man hardware. Players control a hungry blue blob monster as it avoids legions of blob-biting rabbits, frogs, pigs, alligators, and apes. As with many maze games, the objective is to eat all of the food on screen, which in this game is actual food instead of just dots. Rather than navigating a top-down maze as in Pac-Man, The Glob is viewed from a side scrolling perspective and focuses on using elevators to move from floor to floor in some sort of hog infested post-apocalyptic supermarket.
