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 original source code for the complete Atari 8-bit PAC-MAN game with all sequences. Please visit the Makefile.bat file for further details on how to compile your desired version. The original source code was written with the Atari Macro Assembler. We have adapted the source to work with the WUDSN IDE with MADS.
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.
- 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. :-)
- 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.
