OK, I may be pedantic here, but if people are going to code games like this, they should at least get the coding right.

That game looks like Pac man, but the gameplay is nothing like the original.

Ghosts should follow a particualar route from the start of each level. they should change direction when pacman eats a power pill, they should not be able to go upwards into the two paths in the maze just above the ghosts lair, and the "safe spot" for pacman does not exist...

Possibly - although probably better described as a mis-spent youth!

Funny how it's the simple games we still like, I've got a connect four type game on my ipod, played it rather a lot....

Google MAME if you like stuff like this.

You can thank me later for stopping you from every working again....

PacMan was OK I guess. Now if I could find a decent online version of Manic Miner....

Playing too much Pacman never did me any harm as a kid; it's not like I grew up munching pills and listening to repetitive music in a dark room...
