Anyone remember this game?



Hello Apple ][ fellows,


I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Today I went to the movies with my
girlfriend, and after the movie we happened to pass in front of this weird
old arcade that recycles old coin-op games... It's super: a *huge* arcade
(150+ machines) that still has games like Frogger, Elevator Action, Hyper
Olympics, Asteroids, Dig Dug, Mr. Do, Pengo, etc.

I was watching my girlfriend play a game of Ms. Pacman. After a couple of
levels, the "Acts" started to appear -- you know, "Act One: They Meet" and
the like, those tiny animations that you got as rewards between levels.

That brought some long buried memories to my mind and I kinda remembered
an old game that I used to play on my //c -- I'm pretty sure it had
nothing to do with Pacman, but it had *lots* of little "reward animations"
in the Pacman style. I think it even had some flavor of a jackpot where
you could get additional animations if you were lucky. My memories are
faint, though, and I can't remember what the game was about. The
animations were similar to cartoon characters.

Does this ring the bell...? What was this game called? (I know, I'm not
being very specific, but those are basically the only details I can bring
back to my mind right now). If someone knows the name of the game, maybe I
can find it again.

Thanks & sorry for my bad English.
