This is my personal version of the old, but still wonderful game
PacMan (or maybe Jelly Monster). It's not a copy of the original
because I have never played the arcade machine. The game is made
after some good memories of the game 'Jelly Monster' on the VIC-20.
This game was one of the first games I had on the old 4KB computer,
and me and my brother was fighting like mad to beat each others
high score. The heart beated, the adrenaline was flowing in great
amounts and the fingers shivered. I never had so much fun with any
game on all the other computers I've tried since. (Hmm, maybe the
SiliconGraphics, IRIS Indigo Elan!. Realtime ray-tracing in 24bit
is wonderful! (It's my dream machine! (But, with a price tag of
$50000 here in Norway, it's only a dream.))).
I hope you will like this version of PacMan (Jelly Monster?!).

HOW TO INSTALL DELUXE PACMAN
----<>----
THIS ONLY FOR DOS VERSION.
TO DISK
-------
[1]
Format and install a disk, then copy the following files to the disk.
PacMan (The game)
PacMan.data (The data for gfx,sfx...)
CD (A dos file, look in the C: directory for it.)
Create a directory called 'S', and one called 'L' on the disk. The 'L'
directory is not quite necessary, but it it may be nice to have.
Then make a startup-sequence in the 'S' directory that looks something
like this..
CD df0:
PacMan
and copy the following file to the 'L' directory..
disk.validator
If you now reboot the machine with the disk in the drive, the game
should load and start.
[2.1]
If you want to use the workbench, then you must create the following
directory on the disk...
S, Libs, C, L
Then copy the following files to the Libs directory..
info.library, icon.library
and the following files to the C directory..
LoadWB, EndCLI
and the following file to the L directory..
disk.validator
Then make a startup-sequence in the 'S' directory that looks something
like this..
LoadWB
EndCLI
You must of course copy the pacman files to the disk.
PacMan
PacMan.info
PacMan.data
Now reboot the machine and wait for the workbench to appear on
the screen. Then double click on the disk icon and then on the
pacman icon. The game should now load and start.
[2.2]
Or you can copy the PacMan files to a formated disk. And start up your
workbench disk and insert the PacMan disk when the workbench is ready.
Open the PacMan disk and start Deluxe Pacman by clicking on the
PacMan icon.
NOTE
If you only have 512KB of memory in your Amiga then make a directory
named 'C' on the disk and copy the following file to the 'C' directory
Add44K (This should be supplied with Deluxe PacMan)
and add this to the top of the startup-sequence.
Add44K
PacMan
This small utility will free 44 Kilobytes from the system memory.
The game should now get just enough memory to load and start.
If not, then disconnect any extra disk drives and try again.
If you want the high scores to be saved to the disk, then keep the
disk write enabled.
If you still can't get it to work, then send me the small fee and
a disk and I will send you the trackdisk version.
HARDDISK
--------
Copy the following files to your games directory.
PacMan
PacMan.info
PacMan.data
Load workbench, open your game directory and click on the
pacman icon and the game should load.
Or drag the Deluxe_PacMan directory to your games directory, and
open it and select the PacMan icon to start.
