There are never too many Pac-Man games to play and this one is portable! It’s another great game by MinionSoft who have a nice selection of classic arcade remakes and a few other neat games like Star Wars.

The Pac-Man clone is only 2.7 MB. It has its own look but it’s still very close to the original. I really like it! You can check out the screenshot and download the game from the Minionsoft website.

I added three portable Asteroids games to the Games Page, ranging in size from 22 KB to 14 MB. Let’s have a look at them:

Asteroids Classic – Macromedia Flash version

Exactly like the good ol’ days! My personal favorite! Plus it’s the smallest at 22 KB. As mentioned before, you need to have Macromedia Plug-in installed on the computers you play on. To download, click on the file below, then do a Save Page As from your browser’s File menu.

Asteroids Clone from Minionsoft

This one is a pretty fun version. It’s 2.77 MB and in 3D. There’s a warp speed feature where you can apear in another place on the screen in a flash.

Asteroids Clone

Another 3D version. I can’t play this one for long since the movement makes me sea sick – not the game’s fault as the graphics are neat. Give it a try if you don’t mind the 14 MB file size.

Remember this side-scrolling game where you had to jump your moon car over craters? It’s a pretty fun game. Here are links to a flash version and a Windows version.

Pogo Joe was the Commodore 64 clone of Q-bert – I remember playing this game a lot. You can get a copy of Pogo Joe here: http://www.c64g.com/.

Remember, you need an emulator like VICE to play it. Both the game and the emulator are portable and can be uploaded to your flash drive.

This week we’ll look at a few Q-Bert remakes. We’ll start with a Flash version that you can download here: http://www.retroremakes.com/download.php?gameid=819.

This game is 440KB but needs Macromedia Flash installed on the PC. The sound effects are hilarious and the game is fun!

Later this week, we’ll look at a MS-DOS version and, hopefully if I can find one, a Windows version. Until then, have a great week.
