About

A Pac-Man clone in 65816 assembly, built to run natively under the GS/OS desktop. Peter Hirschberg's third 2021 arcade game, with the four ghosts by name and nickname, fruit, and the familiar maze.

W, A, S and D move, 1 starts, 8 turns on a cheat mode where ghosts cannot hurt you (and points stop), 9 skips a rack, J and K enable and disable the joystick (joystick polling slows the game). Apple-Q quits. Needs more than 1 MB of RAM; the author ran it with 8.

Version 1.5 (October 2021) comes as an 800K .2mg or a ShrinkIt archive. This archive does not host the disk; get it from the GitHub releases page.
