Pac-man Update for Atari 8-bit

F-SICK (!!!)

 

I am an avid player of this game, but mostly exclusively on MAME64 ("Puckman") and PS3's edition.

 

I have to say that I am truly impressed not just with the results of this version, but how it DESTROYS any other PacMan version I remember playing on the A8bits. It looks, feels and almost sounds sufficiently close to my preferred (and original) versions.

 

Once again, history-rewritten. KUDOS.

It would be nice if Ms. Pac-Man could receive a similar treatment.

 

I;ve thought about it, but Ms. Pac-man is pretty good as is and there are other projects I want to work on.

A title screen like pacmanv8 for ms pacman would be nice even if nothing else..

Here's the latest xex version with MrFish's intro screen. Other than possible bug fixes, this will be the last version. I havn't had any feedback on the PAL colors, so I'm assuming they are ok. If anybody has suggestions for color tweaks, I consider making those changes.

 

The next update will be adding the intro to the cart version.

 

Fantastic! Thank you. I bought my Atari 800 in the eighties so that I can play Pac-Man. This version is so much better than the Atari released version.

Really nice but on NTSC the orange looks more like a Tomato.. At least in atari800win and altirra.. :)

 

I went back and looked at pacmanv5.xex and the orange is much more orange. Looks good on my 400 and in emulation. I'll go back to that color.

OK, tried again and v8.xex is working on my Atari 800 PAL and 800XL PAL, just not every time I'm loading.

 

About colours on PAL I would like to help.

 

I'm comparing image from Atari 800XL on CRT TV with screenshot from Pac-Man on wikipedia.

 

Tep392, we can use colors.xex to point out closest matches on Pal, can we?

That should work. Just tell me which color patch matches best.

Let the upper left corner be 0,0

 

Pac-Man should be 15 right,1 down

 

Pinky 15 right,4 down

 

Clyde 10 right,2 down

 

Inky, hmm ;) not existing on atari,

 

Blinky 4 right, 3 down

 

To be honest, I think is ok just to change Pac-Man character(yellow) to the colour from v1.xex for PAL.
