About this game

Atomic Protector is a fast-paced action arcade game for the BBC Microcomputer System, programmed by Kevin Edwards and published by Optima Software.

Inspired by the structure of Pac-Man, it reverses the objective: instead of collecting dots, the player must protect the dots already laid out across the map. One type of enemy removes the dots, while radioactive enemies must be caught before they contaminate the player.
