Hi!
I have realized a clone of Pac-Mania for the Retro
Remake competition.
you can download the one level demo version at:
http://pageperso.aol.fr/kochonkichi/PacManiac Now that takes me back. I remember playing Pac-Mania at an arcade back in Korea. It was tucked between a Gauntlet cabinet and some forgettable beat-em-up (maybe Robocop?)
I'll let you know what I think of your remake once I've played it (downloading now.)
ADDITION: I wish you had made it a single download, or at least mentioned somewhere that you need both parts to run the game. I downloaded part A, found it wouldn't run because it was only the exe without any graphics, and deleted it before I downloaded part B. I found part B is only the graphics without the exe so now I have to download part A again!
Looks great. That reminds me, I haven't seen John Blythe in ages, and he was meant to be making a Pac Mania style game but it was called Munchies Attack Of The Tektrons. Looks like you beat him too it.
It's pretty good. My main complaint would be the controls, and even that is a relatively minor thing. Because everything is on diagonals it is weird at first. But if you just turn your keyboard 45 degrees the arrows match up.
I can't upload files up to 1mo for each file ( Thanks AOL ),
so I have updated my Site with sentences explaining the way to extract files. : )
Thank You Joe!
