- Copyright by Mario Becroft 1998.
- This game is freeware!

- Thank you to the following people who helped with the project:
-

- NOTICE
- ------
-
- This is not a completely finished, perfect version of the game. It really
- needs some more finishing touches, such as more levels, more interesting bonus
- objects and perhaps other features. However I have not had time to complete
- it so rather than leave the game sitting on my hard disc where nobody can
- use it, I have decided to release it in its current form. The program is
- freeware, and you are encouraged to distribute the original archive anywhere
- and everywhere in an unmodified form. You may NOT distribute modified copies
- or incomplete versions without my permission.

- INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION
- --------------------------
-
- To use Pacman simply double click in PACMAN.APP to load the program. By
- default it will load the standard level and tile files, but you can load
- others by either dragging them onto PACMAN.APP, or by using the appropriate
- menu options.
-
- You can start a new game with Control-N. Movement of the Pacman is controlled
- by the keyboard's cursor keys, up, down, left and right. The only other
- control you may want to use is the Escape key, to pause the game.
-
- The game may be a bit slow on an 8 MHz ST without NVDI, as I haven't taken
- much time to optimise it at all. However it should work fine on any modern
- machine.
-
- I still hope to do some more work on this game some time, espcially if I get
- lots of encouraging feedback so if you like the game and would be pleased
- to see it get some more features, please send me an email or a postcard!
-
- One of the reasons why I am not doing more work on Pacman at the moment, is
- because I've been putting some time into my Atari hardware projects, including
- a serial mouse interface, AT keyboard interface, IDE hard disc interface and
- TOS 2.06 upgrade and some other projects. If you're interested in these, please
- send me an email or visit my WWW page.
