GRAB-A-CRAB

Hobbler the Gobbler will eat almost 
anything - Grandad's socks, last week's newspapers 
and even Chinese take-aways.
He has discovered a cavern - full of delicious tit-bits 
- 1000 year old turtle eggs.
However, around the corner may lurk a 
fingerbitingtoesnappinglegcrunching crab waiting to 
put the bite on him.
You must guide Hobbler around eating up the eggs as 
you go.  In each corner lies a Dodo's egg which will 
give Hobbler extra-strength, causing the claws to fall 
off the crabs.  Hobbler may then eat the crabs who 
upon being bitten will lose all their meat and appear 
almost transparent.  However, if any crab enters the 
lobster-pot in the centre of the cavern - all the 
crabs' powers are reversed, and Hobbler must BEWARE.

INSTRUCTIONS
Plug joystick into control port 1.

Loading
Hold down SHIFT key.
Hit RUN/STOP key.
Press PLAY on tape.
Grab-A-Crab will now load.

Playing
To start game press F7.
Using the joystick move Hobbler the Gobbler around - 
eating eggs and avoiding crabs.  Whenever you eat a Dodo's 
egg the crabs will turn blue and you can Grab-A-Crab for 
extra points.  If you can guide Hobbler to eat the lobster-pot 
in the centre of the screen - you will be rewarded with 
extra points.  Watch out for crabs you have already bitten - 
they can still bite back.  You only have three lives so 
tread carefully.  From level 3 onwards certain crabs will begin 
to deposit eggs of their own.  You should try to eat these 
crabs as quickly as possible - as this will stop the egg 
laying process.  However, if you lose a life they will begin to 
lay again.

POINT SCORING
You get points for 	- eating eggs
			- grabbing a crab
			- eating a lobster-pot
			and completely clearing the chamber 
			of eggs.

HANDY HINTS
1. Always try to leave the Dodo's eggs until you have eaten 
most of the turtle's eggs.  Only use them in emergencies.
2. If you have eaten all the Dodo's eggs you are allowed one 
replacement if you can eat the lobster-pot at screen centre.
