Reception
Richard Cook for PC World said "Snack Attack II is a simple but polished program; no problems interfere with serious gumdrop gobbling. This game's improvements over Pac Man – the speedup of the mouth after it gobbles an apple, the safety boxes, the skill levels, and the different mazes – give it an edge over its famous predecessor."[2]
Will Fastie for Creative Computing said "as far as I'm concerned, it's the best arcade-style game currently available for the IBM PC. The game is Snack Attack II. It's a Pac-Man clone. It's addictive and tough. It's well-built. It's fun."[3]
Corey Sandler for PC Magazine said "Snack Attack II looks like, sounds like, plays like – and if you really want to anthropomorphize its hero – tastes like old friend Pac-Man. Only it's been subtly improved."[4]
