Here are two PacMan remakes for you…

First, there is Deluxe PacMan. (Windows only, needs DirectX). Apparently, this game has 114 levels – now that should keep you busy for a bit!

And then there is a 3D PacMan called PacManiac.

Ghost V2
This is a fun little pac-man-like arcade game with a ghost theme and an X-Files sound track. Check out the screenshots on the Caiman site. (Note: the game requires DirectX)

Mummy-Pac
Another Pac-Man clone for Halloween

Well, this blog has been running for one year! I thought it might be good to put together a top 10 list of the best games I’ve reviewed, or at least my personal favorites. Feel free to give your own opinions! Here they are, in no particular order:

• 1. Galaxian
• 2. BurgerTime!
• 3. Aztec Challenge

• 8. Chicken Invaders
• 9. Pac Man
• 10. Plasma Pong

An excellent Ms PacMan clone called Ms Blitzman is available to download here: http://www.incitti.com/Blitz/index.html. This Windows game is under 3 MB, comes with a level editor and has the option of being played in full screen or Window mode. Really well-made clone!

This site has a bunch of small portable arcade games: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/freeware01/gamemaker.htm

I tested out Donkey Kong, Scramble, Burger Time and Space Invaders but there are much more to choose from such as 2 PacMan clones, Nibbles and other Commodore 64 remakes. The games I tested are all pretty small at around 3 MB or less. The Burger Time had neat graphics but was a bit frustrating at first – you have to be exactly aligned to move on and around the ladders and it’s hard to tell at first until you get the hang of it. Scramble was fun and quite challenging; Donkey Kong was great!

There are 18 free arcade games to try out; should be enough to keep you busy over the weekend.

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.
