Notes
Original program by Paul Stanley, converted for the BBC Micro by Ian Thomas.
Published in the book "Sixty Programs for the BBC Micro" by Pan Books Ltd. In association with Personal Computer News.
The book contains the following description:
The object of Giant Rats is to direct a man through a maze to reach the girl, whilst being pursued by a killer rat. You have a displayed time limit in which to move before the girl mutates - and if you are unlucky she will unpredictably change places with the rat! If the rat should reach the girl first, she will disappear altogether. At the beginning of the game you are shown the positions of up to four randomly placed mines which you must try to memorise since they will remain invisible for the remainder of the game.
