Mission Leprechaun

In essence, Mission Leprechaun is an Irish version of the classic game Packman. The strategy is the same. You control the protagonist, in this case a leprechaun, and you try and collect treasure and free other captive leprechauns. Along the way, you must avoid snakes and goblins and bombs and all sorts of other dangers. If they touch you, you are done.

However, you should keep in mind that there are also scattered throughout the maze, items that will give you special powers. One makes it possible for you to attack and kill the hazards. Another freezes them. If you can quickly freeze them and then touch the reversal button, you can score lots of points by eating up all the frozen hazards. When you hear the voice warning that your special powers are about to end, get out of the area fast. As soon as they end, the hazards resume their menacing attacks.

Obviously, the key is to work the maze over section by section. Move about the corners until the hazards starts to chase you. When they come after you, move on to a different section of the maze. Never stay in one place to long. you must keep moving.

What is great is that this game can be downloaded to your phone or PDA. So you can now play it anywhere you want at any time. While you are waiting for a meeting to start, try it out. Turn off the sound and everyone will assume you are working! Just don't smile too much. If it looks like you are having a good time, everyone will know that you are playing a mobile game.

I don't know why the Leprechaun theme is so popular. But the little guys grow on you. Much more fun than a "packman" (in my humble opinion.)
