PAC-MAN Source Code #
Sometimes wonders just happen, this can't be more true, than for the source code of PAC-MAN. After a long, long time, this miracle just happend, please see below for more details.
Source Code#
- PAC-MAN_Source_Code.zip ; this is the source code for the Atari 8-bit PAC-MAN game. The original source code was written with the Atari Macro Assembler. This version is adapted to work with the WUDSN IDE with MADS, and modified to be able to compile several versions of PAC MAN. See the Makefile.bat file for further details on how to compile your desired version.
- PAC-MAN_Source_Code_Macro_Assembler ; this versi
XEX files ; compiled from the source codes#
- PACMAN-ORIGINAL.xex ; Atari's original version of PAC-MAN compiled from the source code
- PACMAN-ROKLAN.xex ; version from ROKLAN Corp., ran from disk
- PACMAN-ATARI82.xex ; This version of PAC-MAN has broken intermission scenes 3 and 4, and though the ROM was found online this version was probably not sold. We think was a leaked, pre-release version.
- The differences between these three versions are primarily small changes in graphics and sound. The Atari82 version also handles joystick control differently.
- Other versions of Pac Man for Atari 8-bit are known including a 16K version published by Datasoft. This source code does not build that version.
- PACMAN-ORIGINAL-INTERMISSION-DEMO.xex ; same as PACMAN-ORIGINAL, hacked so that eating one dot ends the level, so the user can see quickly the intermission sequences without doing the hard work, in case there may be less time. ;-) Thank you so much JAC! from AtariAge for making such a pleasure for us. We are deep in your debt. :-)
