Gameplay

Navigate twisting mazes in Coco Loco, a single-player maze game released by Petaco S.A. in 1981. Players guide a character through a series of interconnected pathways while collecting items scattered throughout each stage. Pursuing the player are ghosts that must be avoided to survive and advance. A unique feature allows for increased speed, providing an advantage when evading the pursuing spirits. Coco Loco is a Spanish variation on a familiar formula, drawing inspiration from popular arcade games of its time. The title itself translates roughly to “Crazy Ghost,” reflecting the game’s core gameplay loop of evasion and collection within a maze environment. As with many similar games in Spain, it's considered part of a broader category that describes ghost-hunting experiences. The game provides two plays for the cost of one credit—a notable feature distinguishing it from its inspiration.
