WHERE CAN I FIND A PAC-MAN ROM!?!

[CodeMonkey666]

Okay, this is probably a rather stupid sounding post, but I've been searching all through goole, and I can't find any pac-man roms. The few sites I did that had 'em were those phony sites that make you vote and then you click to vote and end up doing the internet equivalent of going from New York to Hong Kong (you're like, "How in the %^&^$% did I end up here?!").

 

So if anyone knows of a site with a pac man rom, for NES, SNES, Genesis, MAME, whatever, I would greatly appreciate it.

Try wondering around the Emulation forum. (I thought thats why its there)

Thanks; I managed to (finally!) find a Pacman rom for Super Nintendo. However, thanx for all the advice. As for the emulation forum, this site has so many forums that sometimes you forget that there are forums devoted specifically for your questions. Also, I kinda think "Classic Gaming" and "Emulation" fit into pretty much the same category; lots of overlap, with subtle differences. Like emulation spreads into modern gaming as well. But it is a big part of classic gaming. And Pac Man is a classic game.

Yeah it's a classic game.. but the rom Mock gave you up above I think is more classic than any SNES version (weren't the only pac-man"games for the SNES: Pac-Attack, Pac-in-Time, and Pacman2: New Adventures?)

To me, any game before Playstation and N64 hit the scene is "classic." I mean, PSX games like Tomb Raider 2 and such are classic gmes as well, but they still fit under the title "Modern Gaming" I think right now.

 

Anyways, in this Pacman for SNES, it is a pizza/moth going around the maze eating dots, and outmaneuvering the monsters that are trying to kill it. That's Pac-Man to me, plus it IS Pac-Man, just not the original version. However, I read that the Pac-Man version ported over to the Atari was a lousy port in comparison to the arcade version. And I couldn't find a version for the NES. I will check the version Mock provided.

 

Also, from playing Pac-Man so much today, every time I try to read a book now, I keep imagining that stupid mouth zooming across the sentences, eating them up at the rate I read them.

 

NEAT FACT (maybe or maybe not well-known): Pac-Man, called Puck-Man in Japan, had its spelling changed because the company was afraid gamers would change the "P" into an "F" )
