Pac Man

Pac Man is a video game in the action genre originally released in 1982. It is currently playable on DOS.

Another of the many unofficial Pac-Man clones, this particular version of the well-known formula stays true to the basic premise of running through a maze, consuming all the dots and avoiding deadly ghosts (called 'goblins' in the source code). As in the original game, a bonus item may appear from time to time, which increases your score if you eat it, and power pills in four corners of the maze give you the temporary ability to devour your pesky pursuers, to increase points.

This version is somewhat simplified: there is only one fruit, the cherry (although its value increases from level to level). There are three ghosts instead of four, all with the same 'personality' (or lack thereof, as most travel randomly); their speed is constant throughout the game; and they don't blink before the power pill runs out, which can lead to unpleasant surprises. To top it off, for an avid eater, the player character curiously has no mouth.

The BASIC source code is included with the compiled game.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
