Manhole

Manhole is a game where you have to prevent pedestrians from falling into the water. It was first released on January 29, 1981, as a part of the Gold Series. It was later re-released as a part of the New Wide Screen series on August 24, 1983.

Gameplay
Manhole features several pedestrians that will fall into the water below if you don't place a manhole cover below them. To move the manhole cover, you need to press one of the corresponding buttons. One point is scored if a pedestrian walks over the manhole cover. The maximum score is 999. If a pedestrian falls into the water, you get one miss. If you get three misses, the game ends.

Differences between versions
Besides having updated graphics, the New Wide Screen Version has an animation for when a pedestrian falls into the water. Otherwise, the two versions are the same.
