Glutton

Moby ID: 178350

Description

In Glutton, you try to control what food the glutton consumes to keep it fed and healthy. A constant stream of healthy and unhealthy food items descends from the top of the screen to the glutton that patrols at the bottom. The players task is to eliminate the unhealthy items and convert the healthy items into bite size pieces by shooting them. The player controls the height of the gun and when to shoot. Only one shot is active at a time, so timing is important to reach items further away.

When the glutton consumes an unhealthy item the health meter is reduced. When the glutton consumes a healthy item the health meter is increased. When no health remains the glutton dies. There are three lives per game. High scores are recorded.

Trivia

Development history

The game was written in 1983 but never published. The game title screen and disk media show the author's personal company Superior Software. Kay Savetz read about the author in a chapter of the 1984 book "Computer Kids" and contacted the family who supplied the game to Kay for preservation. The author, Tracey Cullinan, who was a member of Atari's Youth Advisory Board, unfortunately died of brain cancer at the age of 18 in 1986.
