Abandonware DOS title

PC-Man

PC-Man is an abandoned top-down Pac-Man clone in every regard: from the shape of the protagonist, to the cute ghosts. PC-Man was designed by Greg Kuperberg, developed by Orion Software and released in 1982 for DOS. As PC-Man, you have to move through a one screen maze to collect dots (pills? wafers?) and avoid being touched by one of the usual Pac-Man colorful ghosts.

    Well, thank you very much for the effort in cracking PC-Man, Paul K!

    I was the person who cracked this game (removed copy protection and converted it to a file (.com). It was originally distributed on a self booting floppy and required a cga adapter. By converting to .com I was able to play it on a Hercules monochrome adapter in cga emulation mode. Fwiw I was 19. Tidbit - I tried to hook prtscn (int 05) as exit - sometimes worked, sometimes it didn't. Paul K.

    One of the most fantastic game I have come across. Do you have a a PCMAN version in which there are as many as 11 pcman chances. This one has only 3 pcman chances. Please, send me that version if you have?

    Thank you very much
