===================================DISCLAIMER==================================
I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com),
IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on.
Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many
sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of
hassle in my mailbox.
So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please
let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.
Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear
anywhere at the following URLs:

Bricklayer J. Gastronomy
Beat 'Em And Eat 'Em is notorious for being one of the few leather-bound porn
games produced for the Atari 2600. It's also regarded as one of the worst
games of all time. You can be the judge, but I'll let this quote from the
game's manual tell the tale.
"Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em is an "adult" electronic video game based upon an ancient
ritual that has been passed down from generation-to-generation as part of the
culture's oral tradition.
The object of the game is to eat 'em every time he beats 'em. You score one
point for each and every drop you swallow without a miss. But should you miss,
shame on you. You lose one turn. After all, it could have been a famous doctor
or lawyer."
Just think that someone came up with the idea for this game, decided to make
it, and sold the thing. Also, someone actually bought it and enjoyed it.
###############################################################################
(C-01) HOW TO PLAY
###############################################################################
The game can be played with you controlling one character, or two at a time.
Contrary to what you might think, it's actually much easier with two
characters.
Basically you move back and forth while the drops fall from above, and try to
catch them with your characters before the drops hit the ground. Each drop is
worth one point, and you lose one of your 5 lives if even one drop hits the
ground.
After each round, you need to catch more drops than the previous round.
Also the drops appear faster, so you need to react faster.
###############################################################################
(C-02) TIPS
###############################################################################
You get an extra life [to a maximum of 6] for every 69 drops that you catch.
You don't have to "catch" each drop on the top of your character. You can also
run sideways into the drops. As long as the drop is at neck-level or above
when you touch it, it will count.
Catch the drops in the order that they appear, or you'll miss one for sure.

(E) EXPERIMENTAL
###############################################################################
For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
