Hiya all,
I'm looking for a game that was written by a family member of me long time ago. I just discovered he was a hardcore msx user at that time (1983-1985) 
The game was written for a contest (magazine unknown) where you could win a diskdrive (i guess the Philips standalone drive), it was written for MSX1 and was some sort of pacman clone.
Supposedly he wrote it in assembly.
Any thoughts ?
thx ! |

Pucky? Break Man?
Those are the only Pacmans I can think of at the moment (that were published as listings).

Can't you ask him the name of the game? Obviously he must have forgotten...

there is another pacman variant... it's called Lockin Man. It's called that way since you need to lock in the ghosts somewhere where they can't get to you or each other, since both cause the you to die.
btw, wasn't pucky written by some french dude? he also made a q-bert variant. I can recall the game starting with a french flag and a black skull drawn over it.

in some MSX Computing or What MSX? there was pacman listing too, but there wasn´t any disk drive competition for that game ( I am sure that if that pacman have been the winner, it could surely got mentioned in the listing page)

Would a french guy release a game with "Jojosoft presenteert" in its title screen?
