Pancho

Pancho is a video game in the action genre and published by Commodore Business Machines (UK) Ltd. originally released in 1985. It is currently playable on Commodore 16, Plus/4.

Inspired by the arcade game QBert, you take the role of Pancho who has to paint all the squares at various heights in an isometric view on a single screen. To paint a square, all Pancho has to do is land on a square, but he has to avoid a Mad Mexican Muncher that moves across the screen and if he touches it then he loses one of the three lives. Also moving around the screen is a wild jumping bean that changes the squares back to its original color, but you can catch it to eliminate it.

Pancho starts the level on one of the two magic carpets, which he can stand on to take a breather, as the Muncher cannot land on them. By pressing the fire button anywhere on the screen, Pancho is transported to one of them, but this can only be done four times. Once you pass the level, you go to the next one, but with more Munchers and you have to land on the squares more than once to paint them.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
