Little Pesco must find a new place to live. In his searches it seems that he found a good home, with lots of plankton to eat, but...well, it seems that there are three crabs that are determined to eat him!

Having just turned two, you were now nearly full size and with your mother looking after a new litter, it was now time to take on new responsibilities. The shores of your current home were becoming too polluted, and your mother charged you with finding a new home where your family could live in peace. During your dangerous quest to find a new home, you rushed into a cave to avoid the tentacles of a frightening squid! Unfortunately, this is exactly what the squid wanted, and he quickly dropped a rock in front of the entrance, trapping you inside! Filled with plankton, your favorite food, you at first thought this to be the perfect home for your family until you realized that the maze was also inhabited by Tribock the giant crab! Can you clear all the mazes of plankton, eluding the clutches of Tribock to reach the ninth level?

This newly released version of Pesco has been modified from the original to make it a bit easier to reach the upper levels!

Pesco is Ebivision's fourth title, written by Eric Bacher. This new release of Pesco features a professionaly printed label and manual, and all five Ebivision games sold through AtariAge feature a uniform label and manual design.

Although well programmed and enjoyable, Pesco is ultimately yet another maze game on a system saturated with them.

Pesco is a pretty decent Pac-Man clone. But instead of Pac-Man, you\'re a fish named Pesco, who must eat plankton and avoid getting eaten by three hungry crabs. If you eat glowing plankton, you can turn the tables on the crabs and eat them. The basic elements from Pac-Man are here, except the maze is a little different, and there are only three crabs chasing you. While fewer crabs means less flickering, it also makes the game easier. Maybe too easy. The graphics are very good, but the sound is absolutely minimal. A few more sound effects could have really helped make the game seem more finished. There doesn\'t seem to be a way to earn extra lives, and in what seems to be an Ebivision tradition - you can\'t use the fire button to restart the game after losing. Pesco is enjoyable enough if you like Pac-Man, and probably a good game for kids, but it could really have used better audio, some additional mazes for variety, and another crab.

The graphics in this game are very nice, but sound effects are SEVERELY lacking. Another Atariage member produced a hack of this game which adds sound effects, intermissions, and other goodies (including unlicensed Namco properties which render it unsaleable). If you wish to have guilt-free enjoyment, buy this cartridge to support its creators, but then download a copy of Hack\'Em/Hanglyman to actually play.
