As an example of what you can do with comparatively few bytes of machine code this is not had, providing you think it was worth doing in the first place.
For yes, this is yet another version of our dear old friend dots. maze, mouth, ghosts, .... get the picture? With the usual sound accompaniments, rather like a mouse being electrocuted.

When a ghost --- or is it a
gook? - bears down on the
munchiemouth to pacmanize
him, there comes a sort of
paralysis over our gobbling pal.
He no longer responds to the
keys.
This increases the difficulty of
the game somewhat, but patient
players will doubtless find a way
round the problem.
Bowing Up the World is a
tedious, silly game in which keys
1 to 8 bear a rather vague relationship
to "bombs" which are
released at various points on a
Mercator projection.
If you persevere you can eventually
delete the lot; this, it is
claimed you can "indulge your
megalomania." C.M
