What PacWorm is

PacWorm was released in 1982. It is available on DOS only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

PacWorm is an early Snake-like game for DOS. Your objective is to eat 10 "foods" that appear randomly on the field. Each time you gobble a food, your worm gets longer; if you hit anything except the food (like walls or yourself), you use a life. If you've eaten 10 foods, a door opens and you can leave the level, coming to the next level with additional walls. There is also time limit of sorts: if you'll not eat next food in given time range, it will multiply and counter of "needed food" will go up.
