The Glob (also known as Super Glob and Beastie Feastie)[1] is an arcade video game released by Epos in 1983.[2] It is a platform game where the player guides a strange, blue, glob-like creature named Toby through corridors and up and down elevators in search of snacks.

The Glob was only available as an unofficial conversion kit for Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man arcade machines.

Gameplay

An assortment of animals pursue Toby and fight him for control of the elevators. The player must avoid or stop them and eat a dozen different snacks to clear the 24 levels. A time limit(The Energy Level) increases the difficulty of the game.
