Taz

You are TAZ, the ravenous Tasmanian Devil who whirls like a tornado and eats everything in sight. Hamburgers, root beer, ice cream - you are jazzed by such junk! But look out, sometimes your feeding is so frenzied that you accidentally swallow dynamite!

Pow! What a bellyache!

Your objective: Glut on every edible item that comes your way to achieve the fattest score possible while you stay alive as long as possible.

Taz was changed to Asterix for European audiences as Atari felt that European players could identify with him better than an American cartoon character. Taz and Asterix gameplay is exactly the same except for graphics changes to match the Asterix cartoon license. The Crazed Wave was also changed to the Obelix Wave where you controlled Obelix for a while. Obelix was Asterix's pal who eventually ended up getting an Atari game of his own.
