arcade game with vacuum cleaner - what is it called?

I vaguely remember an arcade game that I want help in working out what it was called. As I remember it, it was a single screen platform game (i.e. each level is on a seperate screen, like in bubble bobble and similar). Your character had a vacuum cleaner (or something that could suck things at least) and could suck the baddies up.

I think there was some limit to the number of baddies you could have in the cleaner, or a time limit, and if you exceeded that you died, but you could spit out the baddies at any time.

This is all from memory, so I might have gotten some details wrong, but I hope I’ve given enough for you to go on. Screenshots would be appreciated so I know you’ve got the right game.

I remember a Simpson’s video game, where Marge had a Vacuum Cleaner to whack the bad guys.

I know what game you mean, but I’m afraid it’s not that. The game I want is one where you could suck up enemies as I say in the post, rather than use the vacuum to hit people with, as with the Simpsons’s game.

Sounds a little like Dig Dug, only the guy had a pumplike thing to blow up the baddies, not to suck them in.

Yes, I do realise, now that I’ve typed this, that it is no help at all. Sorry.

I don’t know what video game that was, but I’ll bet it sure sucked! <rimshot>

Might it be Tumblepop you are thinking of?

Unless there has been a very similar game released, I think this must be the game I’m thinking of. Thanks Aro.
