Felix and the Fruit Monsters Felix and the Fruit Monsters Felix and the Fruit Monsters is a video game released by Micro Power for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron in 1983. It is a sequel to the earlier game "Felix in the Factory". The game is a sort of "Pac-Man" clone, in which the player moves around a maze collecting fruit and avoiding the fruit monsters.
