Notes
GAME VARIATIONS:
MAT101 includes 13 game variations. Each variation has a one-player game and a two-player game. In two-player game, the left player starts the game. Each player takes a turn until MAT101 gets eaten by a ghost. GAMES 8, 11 and 12 feature a slow-moving MAT101.
The ghosts move as follows:
GAME 11 Ghosts move at jogging speed
GAME 12 Ghosts crawl especially slow for young children
In Zilof drums splutter periodically over fast electro beats, while kraftwerk voices utter causally unconnected words, phrases, or just letters, impersonating Max Headroom.
English sounds a bit like a New Romantics tune, with a vocal sample that reminds me of Ultravox, still with computer game feel and a square-wave distorted bass.
Goblin 101 is even more 80's with whole verses of cynical-voiced singing.
