About Slurpy

You control a strange green blob of a creature with a long trunk sticking out the front, moving it around in a one-screen, non-scrolling, open cave. In every level, your goal is to eat ten floating seeds. Meanwhile, of course, the game does its best to prevent you from doing so, by throwing a multitude of different monsters against you. Fortunately nearly every monster in the game can be eaten as well. If an enemy touches Slurpy, you can kiss one of your precious lives goodbye; but woe to the enemy that strays in front of Slurpy's trunk and is caught by his amazing suction power!

ColecoVision prices, all games & how to spot a fake

An obscure Xonox cartridge about which we can say very little, so buy it as a collector's checklist item.

Slurpy arrived on the ColecoVision in 1984 from Xonox, with Emag credited as developer in the library, and it first appeared on a computer. No period review, preview or description of the ColecoVision cartridge turned up, so there is nothing reliable to say about how it plays.

The price row shows only a loose price.

Worth knowing

  • From the ColecoVision manual. Pressing the fire button flips the direction Slurpy faces, and also makes him spit out a creature he is slurping.
  • From the ColecoVision manual. Each player starts with three lives and gains an extra life at 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 points.
  • From the ColecoVision manual. Swallowing a gold Glowbug lets Slurpy take one hit from an enemy or swallow one poisonous creature without dying.

Before you buy

Plays on the standard ColecoVision controller; no overlay is documented. With no boxed price on record, a complete copy is hard to value, so ask for photos of the box and manual and for a test of the cartridge. No counterfeit of this title is documented.
