Cyber Surfin (c) 1994 Global Entertainment Systems, Limited.
In the late 20th Century kids drove cars, in the 21st Century they risked shattered nerves inside the VRNet, but in the 22nd Century they like the excitement to be real, so they risk their 'lives' inside miles of twisting pipework, where stopping for a rest is not allowed and losing a life means its over baby, kaput, finito!
With limited shields and a helluva lot of 'Street Creds' to play for, a player advance though the pipework mazes in the hope of reaching the higher levels and the ultimate glory - their success being broadcast on one of the major Video Network Server New Channedls! In the pipes of the Cyber maze heroes are created and losers are, well frankly, losers!

Accepted [+] [X] Munch Mobile Update submitted by NPI_WOL
Export
Munch Mobile (c) 1983 Centuri, Inc
A weird driving game with a car that has long arms that reach out to grab a variety of edible items that appear along roadside.
The object is to drive safely down the road. Pick up enough fuel to stay alive while avoiding other vehicles that go by, grab as many bonus objects as possible including apples, cherries, bananas, acorns, live fish and money, and park your car in the garage. Driving while trying to pick up the goodies is difficult and you can crash very easily on the narrow roads. The pace of the game is frustrating because the hands move slowly while the car itself moves really fast, especially in the later rounds. If one of your hands hits a tree or any other foreign object in its quest for food, the car winces in pain for a few moments until it can use its hands again.
You can get a bonus for putting used-up food into garbage cans. Grabbing fish which leap out of surrounding rivers is a safe bet, but most other bonuses are placed, so you can crash if you try to grab them. The best strategy is only to go for the fuel, since the car is a big gas guzzler and you can also get a bonus for leftover fuel at the end of the drive.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Begin by filling in the box in the lower left-hand corner. Once you've done that, fill in the two boxes (vertically) to its right, then the three to their right, and so on until you've effectively wrapped around the playfield and are back at the first box you filled in. Just repeat this motion until all of the boxes are full.
* Filling in boxes two at a time will give you twice the points of each of the boxes. Filling in three boxes at a time (this is done by going over the point shared by the three boxes last) gives you four times points for the boxes.
You can also get points by punching out enemies. If you can punch out an enemy while the ambulance is still on the screen, you get six hundred points instead of the three hundred for just punching out an enemy.
