Ah, my first Pac-Man clone! Hard to be objective here. It’s a marvel, a masterpiece!
Gobble up all the dots while dodging the ghosts. The green pills make you temporarily invincible—your chance to devour as many enemies as possible and rack up the points.
Just a basic Pac-Man clone, really. It features 34 different levels (levels 34 to 99 are just repeats of the first), plus an editor to design your own. A two-player mode is also included, either in cooperative or competition.
I’m deducting a point, though, for the invisible walls. They drive me up them. The invisible walls.
Update:
This game is a nightmare to run on emulator (Kickstart 1.2), and not all versions include the two-player mode. I spent far too much time testing every version I could find. The only time I managed to play as two players was on a cracked version (by HQC, the poorly named group), but there were no collisions with ghosts or bonuses. If you do better than me regarding multiplayer, let me know.
