This is my review of the awesome Atari 2600 homebrew of Pacman 4K. This game was ported by Dennis Debro, and started out as a challenge to himself to see if I could get a no frills Pac-man written for the 2600 in 4K and stay faithful to the original arcade game. He made some sacrifices along the way. Most noticeable was the decision to flicker the objects at a rate of 20Hz instead of developing a variable flicker algorithm.

Each monster has its own behavior. They are similar to the arcade version except for Clyde's. His behavior was sacrificed to get the game into 4K. Instead he moves randomly through the maze which makes for an interesting game.

This game is no longer available in the AtariAge store, but you can download it at this link to play on your emulator, or to put on your Harmony or Uno cart...
