Gopher is a Caterpillar type game for one or two players in which you rush through a maze munching numbers, but avoiding your tail.

The maze is displayed with several bolt holes permitting exit and re-entry on the opposite side of the screen.

When ready, you start the gopher moving and will be unable to stop again until you've travelled through 200 squares without crashing.

After this you progress to the next level where the points are doubled for each number eaten. If you survive this, then at the following level points are tripled and so on.

There is a choice of three speeds. Speed one is the fastest but speed two provides more numbers to eat and bricks to avoid. Speed three is slow but challenging, especially when attempting the two player game.

The latter variation is the most enjoyable feature of Gopher. It's far more tricky to outwit your opponent by blocking him off as well as race against him to obtain the highest score.
