The ST version only uses 1/2 of the screen - the Amiga version rocks more!

I first played the arcade version of this on a cross channel ferry in the late 80s. I don't know how much money I used but suffice to say it was a lot.
I was therefore overjoyed when I obtained the Atari ST conversion which to all intents and purposes stays true to the original arcade version. However, I actually prefer the Atari ST conversion to the arcade version! Yes really.
Yes, I too can say without hesitation that the Pacman series reached heights with Pac-mania which it has never managed to scale again.
The best Pacman game ever?

Arcade conversion.
Gameplay is addictive - I love this as the best Pac-Man game ever. The ST version has fluent scrolling and nice music.
I can recommend this game for all Pac-Man fans!
Pacman is one of the oldest and most successful computer game formulas. But the basic idea of transversing pathways happened years before computers arrived. The origins of the game goes back to 17th century Prussia. In Konigsberg, tourists traditionally played a walking game whereby they had to walk around the town and cross a network of 7 bridges, ticking each one off as they went. The aim was to tour all of the bridges for scenic purposes, and visitors were naturally uninclined to revisit a bridge they had already crossed, and this became the challenge. Going unsolved the city became famous for the problem, and in 1736 it was proven once and for all that it couldn't be done without repetition.
