Vic Nibbler

Nibbler is a lesser known arcade game released in 1982 by Rock-Ola.  It was notable for the first game to offer scores over over 1 billion which stirred up some competition for the first person to cross that threshold.

Vic Nibbler is a remake of the arcade game for the Commodore Vic 20 computer (with +3K RAM expansion) and shares many features of the original game.  

How to play Nibbler

Nibbler is easy to play, but difficult to beat!

• Clear each maze before time runs out
• Do not let Nibbler bite itself
• Nibbler does not stop at corners
• Nibbler grows longer when it eats
• Time decreases faster when nibbler does not eat
• Bonus is time left at end of wave
• Extra Nibbler awarded after 4 waves

Vic Nibbler can be played with keys (Q,A,O,P) or with a joystick.

The Vic 20 version does not need to gobble your quarters/10p's so it starts off at a reasonable pace.  The difficulty will soon ramp up with each wave.  How far can you get?

Hints:

• Don't wait at T-Junctions too long, Nibbler will get hungry and the timer will speed up!  Eat food as soon as possible!
• Hold the joystick or key direction to not miss your turning!
• Don't be too greedy, plan your route and ensure you don't get trapped!

Hope you enjoy the game.
