CURIOSITÀ
Rilasciato nel Dicembre 1982, this is the first game to support a billion point score.

Japanese sales by Taito.

Rock-ola offered a free Nibbler machine to the first player to turn the game over by scoring a billion points. The early favorite was Tom Asaki, who came close but failed in attempts at Twin Galaxies arcade in Ottumwa IA (once when the joystick broke after he scored 793 million points). Tim McVey finally broke the billion-point barrier with a score of 1,000,042,270 points after six unsuccessful attempts (he passed out after one of them) and January 28 1984 was declared Tim McVey day in Ottumwa.

On December 25th, 2011, Tim McVey ended a lengthy Twitch stream with the new world record, 1,041,767,060 points.

AGGIORNAMENTI
There were at least 8 revisions of the game.

PUNTEGGIO
Food Item: 10 points x level.
Time Bonus: 10 points per remaining second on clock x level.

CONSIGLI E TRUCCHI

• Nibbler does pause for a split-second when it hits a corner, so use this pause to decide your next turn.
• Try to collect the items on the inside of the maze first, as you can use the outer edges to move relatively safely when Nibbler is longer.
