Head to Head

Two copies of the same maze sit side by side, one for each player, and a head starts in the bottom-left corner of each. Every dot you eat scores 10 and also vanishes from your opponent's maze, so it is a race for the same 118 dots: plan your route to take more of them than the other head. The round ends when every dot is gone. With the bonus feature on, a gem is set into a wall near the top of both mazes; the first head to reach it scores 500, opens that wall and takes the gem from both mazes. Each round brings a new maze, and scores add up over the rounds until the higher total wins. Play a friend, or race the computer at slow, medium or fast speed.

Controls: Joystick 1 moves the left head and joystick 2 the right head, or the computer plays the right head. On the title, up and down choose a line, left and right change it, and a button starts.
