If Hunter S. Thompson decided to adapt the Herbie movie series into an arcade game on the Sinclair Spectrum palette, the result would be Snap Jack. In this bizarre Universal title, you play as a bucktoothed vw buggy trekking through a hideous flourescent neon landscape filled with monsters, trying to feed yourself dots ala pac man. If you eat enough dots, you will get a power pill that turns you into a freaky snapjawed creature, and allows you to eat everyone else in a vicious fight for survival. At the end of the level, you launch yourself off a ramp, and get points for how far you go. The gameplay is intriguing, sort of a cross between pac-man and scramble, but altogether awkward and unpleasant, and the graphics will give you a dreadful headache.
