FARMER DAN (ZELLERS) (ATARI 2600)

A pesky gopher is after your carrot patch! Your objective is to stop him before all your carrots disappear. The gopher will dig a tunnel in the ground at the bottom of the screen; you are at the top and have to fill the tunnels with gophers with your shovel. The gopher is fast, however, and if you don't fill the tunnels fast enough, it will rise to the surface and run off with one of your carrots! If the gopher manages to take all your carrots, the game will be over. Occasionally there will be a duck flying overhead. As the duck passes, it will drop a seed; if you catch the seed and plant it, a new carrot will sprout to replace the stolen one. Several difficulty levels are included, which control the speed and intelligence of the gopher, and whether or not the duck will spawn.
