PAC IT -- PREVIEW 2
by JAK T RIP
of DMAGIC and PROTOVISION
Welcome. You are just about to get
in touch with another game preview...
Sadly, this got delayed a lot,
mainly because of a lack of grafics
and musics. Do now expect me to tell
you any more release dates... :-)
Anyway! Technically, PAC IT has
advanced quite much. Here we go with
the instructions:
[*] First of all, [Do Not HOLD] the
joystick in the direction you are
heading. Otherwise, you are very
easily changing direction while you
don't want to...
[*] Stear Too Early!
PAC IT memorizes the direction you'd
like to turn to, even if right now
there is a wall or something.
The new version of PAC IT has some
very strange displays at the bottom of
the screen.
[MESSAGE LINE]
Whenever something special happens, a
message is displayed here. If a
special item is collected, the
scroller tells you abou it. The
message is always displayed in the
color of the PAC MAN connected to it.
There are also white messages. These
are general comments, not connected to
one PAC MAN in particular.
[LIVES, SCORE AND KEYS]
Like in ICE GUYS, there is only one
live-pool. Score and Keys to open
doors need no explanation.
[BREATH]
Next to the Score, there is a display
for the PAC MAN's Stamina. Pressing
Fire makes the PAC MAN run -- but this
takes "Breath"... You regain Breath
slowly while walking and faster while
not moving at all.
[SPECIAL ITEMS]
There are items to collect or to
use. Anyway, do not underestimate the
abilities of the Ghosts. They may use
something as well from time to time...
[DARK THEM]
Collecting this item displays the
message "Ghosts Hide". This is exactly
what they do.
[SUPER PILL]
A must in every PAC MAN game :-)
The animation changes to Greedy PAC
MAN, and the PAC MAN becomes speedy.
Now you can kill Ghosts.
[GO HOME]
All Ghosts are forced back to
their Ghosthome, immediately.
[ON/OFF SWITCH]
This switches mechanical walls
from open to closed and vice versa.
[JUMP EXTRA]
A yellow pill can be found in the
last level. To jump, press Fire
against a single wall. This ability
does not cease unless you collect
another Timeless Extra or you finish
the Level.
[SUPERSTRONG EXTRA]
Also timeless. For moving a block,
just press Fire and run towards one.
You can fill holes with blocks. Can be
found in the first level -- the Red
Item. You can also move mechanical
wals if they are activated.
[ROB XTRA]
Also timeless. Takes away any kind
of Extra you might have.
[CRACKY FLOOR]
Some ground materials crack away
while you walk over them. Fill them
with blocks.
THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
Surely there is a lot of technical
details Icould bore you with -- like
the collecting-prediction I included
on request of DOC BACARDI/THE
DREAMS...
Please send BugReports and
FeedBack to one of the addresses
mentioned in the Preview -- or to Dave
at LOADSTAR!
