Hehe, excellent game Blood-Pigggy! Beautiful review as well. The part about an orchestra made me laugh hehe. *goes to download*

The game is also WinXP compatible.

Still you will need quick reflexes if you don't wanna loose your first life - the game starts right off and you only have a split second to turn - or you'll be eaten!

Interesting game. I have yet to find a proper DOS/Windows pacman game though, meaning same graphics and sound as the original. Not that it matters since I suck at it but hey!

I hate to admit it but nice review indeed.

I suck as well but a true classic. I found an inresting thing on my computer as the colors where not the same as on the pictures in the review. :blink:

Yes. I noticed that too. If you play in DOSBox the colors are blue, grey, green and black... but if you run under windows they are red, yellow, green and black.
That's the case with many CGA games (but I don't know why).

Thanks for the comments on the review.
I thought I'd actually try this time.

This happens with DOSBox 0.63. Should be fixed in more recent CVS versions. You can make it behave properly by setting "machine=cga" in dosbox.conf.

Well, the entire rest of the review and the good score was my reasoning.
