Dung Beetles (video game)

Dung Beetles is an Apple II maze video game written by Bob Bishop published in 1982 by Datasoft.

[1] The gameplay is similar to Pac-Man, but a portion of the maze around the player-controlled character is enlarged as if being viewed through a square magnifying glass.

[4] In 1983, Datasoft moved the game to its Gentry Software label with another name change: Magneto Bugs.

Softline found the magnifying glass "an impressive programming feat," and concluded that it was "a solid game ...

[6] Writing for ANALOG Computing, Marc Benioff called Tumble Bugs, "an outstanding variation on Pac-Man".

Here the magnified part of the maze overlaps the score (Atari 8-bit).
