Originally released on the Spectrum, Splat! was another of the addictive SAM game conversions.

The aim of the game was to control Zippy (via up / down / left / right) and eat the grass growing around the maze. The catch being, the maze itself moves randomly. If you get trapped against a wall, you’re dead!

Due to it’s random nature, each play was never the same as the previous one.

Review by Graham Goring from the Sam Coupé Scrapbook

Aha! A game I can review and explain in about one paragraph. Hurrah!

You play the part of a little green blob that has to eat all the greenery and food that he can on a largish map. You can move about the screen as you wish, but impacting on any walls or water results in your immediate death.

Meanwhile the screen scrolls away in a set pattern, meaning that you can get trapped in innaccessable places quite easily and you will often have to make speed retreats when the screen suddenly decides to change direction.

And that is it. Okay then, 2 paragraphs.
