Author's Description: This is a game I have worked on for many years on and off since the early 1990s. It's inspired by the original game of the same name for the Amiga by Edgar Vigdal (I got his permission to create a similar version for the PC by the way). It's not an exact clone, only inspired. Anyhow, it runs great under Windows 7 - 64bit/Vista/XP etc. Comes with a level editor, has a gun, bombs, you name it. Made with Allegro 4. It's a single player game but there can but up to 4 players taking turns.

What's New:

1.94
I updated the graphics for this version, improved lines, pills, pickups, pacman, ghosts, many of them 3D rendered for improved quality and updated to 32bit colour. There is also a change in the ghosts, they now look in the direction they are traveling rather than always watching Pacman. The old graphics would work with this version except the scared (blue) ghost animation is different on the new version. The old blue animation was 4 frames and went from 1 to 4 then back down to 1 again. The new animation goes fro 1 to 4, then repeats 1 to 4, so if you were to use the old graphics data file with this, that would be the only difference in that respect. I also compiled an AMD64 bit version of the executable, if you have problems with the default installation (Pentium 32bit executable) and you have an AMD 64bit CPU, try this out.
