Okay, this one was straight-forward. [[Stinky]] and [[Loof]] certainly like to “gobble” up Rainbow Stars, a maze is an easy level to design, and Return To Wonderland even has its own variety of [[Ghosts]]. All that was missing were the Power Pills. In retrospect, we couldn’t tell you why we named the level “Mrs. Pac Man” rather than just “Pac Man”. Maybe because it’s the better game of the two? (Note: The maze setup in our version bares no resemblances to the original game. Oops! That could have been easily fixed.) | Okay, this one was straight-forward.

Yikes, you can’t get much more Retro than Pong. A ball, two paddles, neither of which had an easy [[Wonderland (series)]] equivalent. So we constructed a level with Stinky and Loof on opposite sides of a wall of wood, rolling a heavy stone [[Boulder]] back and forth (smashing the boxes, perhaps a nod to Pong’s quasi-sequel, Breakout). Instead of Pong’s paddles, Stinky and Loof would push around steel boxes to stop the rolling ball. | Yikes, you can’t get much more Retro than Pong.

In Space Invaders, we used reflectors to counter the UFO’s fireballs. This time, Stinky was able to use a lone UFO to lob [[Fireballs]] at the incoming centipede (made up of a string of Z-Bots). You were, of course, able to evade the Z-Bots altogether and just run for the coins, but where would the fun be in that? | In Space Invaders, we used reflectors to counter the UFO’s fireballs.
