Overview
You guide Pepper through four connected mazes, leaving a zipper trail that fills each enclosed segment with color. Roaming Eyes chase you from every exit, while a Whippersnapper unzips any track that does not surround a room. Enclose a pitchfork energizer to briefly become a devil and clear the screen of enemies.

Why it matters
Pepper II brings Exidy's 1982 arcade maze to the ColecoVision with a distinct zipper mechanic that sets it apart from other Amidar-style games. The ColecoVision port adds one or two player modes and four selectable skill levels.
