Ms Pac Man
« on: 17 July 2004, 13:04 »
Old Ms pac man from the early 80's was one of the best games ever.  Check out an FAQ on the game to find out how complicated it really is.  Each of the four ghost have thier own personality on how they attack you.  Notice I am talking about MS pac man and not regular pac man, which sucks ass.  MS pac man is THE shit.  I just got an all time high score for myself tonight.  I think this is really high but someone out there who may be reading this might be able to get a score that puts mine to shame.  Here it is, and I DID NOT fuck with the picture:

Microsoft was actually pretty decent, before IBM hired them to make an OS for them. They panicked, buyd another company and did really nothing more than changing "QDOS" into "PC-DOS". And it's their tactic ever since. This was after they had MSX and MS-XENIX.

Windows 95 OSR2 included Microsoft Pac-Mac too, but I'm not sure it's the same as Paladin has played.

Ms. Pacman, not M$ Pacman.

And Microsoft have been that way since the very beginning when Bill Gates ported BASIC to the Altair.

I dont really know about this microsoft "pac mac" thing, but the real intention of this thread was for other people to admire my high score.

What platform did this game run on?
To me it looks like an old DOS game, the screen mode looks like EGA 320x200 16 colours.

The screen shot looks like a scanned dot matrix print out, how did you get it?

Actually, it ran on an Atari 2600. I bought a full box of cartridges, but I can't even use them with an emulator. Looks like I'm going to hunt at some more garage sales...
