The Glob is a platform arcade game released by Epos in 1983.

[edit] Plot

A simple platform game where the player guides Toby (a strange blue "glob") through corridors, up and down the elevators and through the side tunnels in his search for snacks. An assortment of animals relentlessly pursue Toby and fight him for control of the elevators. The player must avoid or stop them and eat a dozen different snacks to clear the 24 unique levels. A time limit increases the difficult of the game.

[edit] Trivia

This game is also known as "Super Glob" and "Beastie Feastie". The only difference between The Glob and the clones is the name. The game itself remains the same.
