Wow.
So I have...
1... 2...
Zuma-Like
Pac-Man Parody
Picture eater
Miner and Mice
Platformer in forest, possibly Apogee.

That's my list.
But you are only supposed to do one per post, so this thread is about "Pac-Man Parody".

So, a long while back, when my Dad had this old Windows 98/maybe 95 laptop, we got this game, it was a Pac-Man-esque game, but it had something similar to SVGA graphics, (It was 2D) and was much smaller scale.
For instance, the levels were smaller, and your movable character was bigger.
Kindof like when you change the resolution on your computer screen, you know?

Also, the main character could drink cokes for bonus points or health, and possibly eat cherries.
I don't remember ghosts or anything similar chasing you, but that could just be me.
It must've had a shareware version,
but if you bought the game, you had to enter in a code in the registration screen that they would probably have E-mailed to you.
The main character was NOT a Pac-Man type thing. He was some other kind of creature, some reason I think he could've been a distortedly shaped plumber.


The game would have occasional bonus stages, I think, and it was, at the time, very fun.

I've been looking for this for years. Multiple google searches have possessed no luck.

If anyone knows of anything similar, please, comment.

Also, if anyone is expressly interested to hear more info about anything in the above "Future Threads" list, please say so and I'll see what I can do about getting a thread up with as much info as I can provide.

P.S. this game is NOT PAC-PC or CD-MAN. It is much less Pac-Man like than these games, and those games don't have most or any of the above elements that I mentioned above for this game.

It's not the Dizzy, by the chance?

Fast Food, I mean.

[StaaViinsZ]

No, sadly, it is not. That is a very good guess, though.
The main character was not an egg.
Keep trying(anyone)!

Thanks for a very good try Smilie!

Have you browsed these lists already?

First: No, I have not browsed those lists already.
Thanks for those.

Alas, my dear friend, 'Tis not in the first list. I looked through Pac-Man variants in it's entirety. No luck. Looked at each item individually to see if I recognized any screens. Nay.

The second list is all official "Licensed Pac-Man Games". I do not think this one was licensed by Namco.

At this point it must be pretty obscure. My dad could've gotten it on a shareware compilation disc, although it's unlikely. More likely that he downloaded it from the Internet. It was years ago, though, so who knows.

We can still hope... although it seems lost at this point...??

Absolutely not sure but the words "Pac-Man parody" bring the Pac-Guy/Pea Guy games to memory:

Sorry...
Hate to stump everyone...
These are Pac-Man Parodies, however, not the one I was looking for.
Thanks everyone for their help so far-- No one can say you didn't try!
The game was a lot less pac-man-ey than some other clones, so I don't think that it had a yellow Pac for a main character.

But by all means, anyone who has a guess that hasn't been said, try it!
It can't hurt!

Try to elaborate more, Stavinz. I.e. how it is looks overall (cartoony graphics, bird's view, isometric, yellowish gamma, etc.). And give more info about gameplay - is hero sliding, as packman? Running? Jumping? What is he collects? Numerous dots, rare cherries, color squares? Such things.
