News
As a few folks have asked about it, I'll just point out that
these games are NOT emulations using the original game code, they were
coded and debugged from the ground up.
Given the time, I want to convert the games to run under windows & direct-X, it's
about time an update was done, as their getting a bit old. But.. as time always seems to
be my enemy dont hold your breath for them.
Background info
I'd never come across a really good conversion of the arcade Pac for any computer system, apart
from Jelly Monsters on the Vic-20, so after thinking about it for a long time I hacked
together a version of infamous yellow dot muncher called PacPc, it was pretty damn cheesy not a very acturate
conversion but fun and playable. About the same time as I completed this game, in 1995, I
bought my first arcade machine which, by conicidence, was a fullsize MsPac. This spurred me on to write a much more faithful
conversion, and so MsPacPc was created. After some amazing work from the Beta testers we
got it about as accurate as we could without actually emulating the original game.
PC*Bert was another classic I though could benefit from a PC version, this took a lot
longer to write as everything else I was doing at the time took priority. Still they're
all completed and available for you to play and enjoy for FREE, they are complete Freeware
!!
Coding Info
These games were coded in Borland C++, with assembler used for the routines requiring
most speed ( sprite & character drawing routines, audio mixing ).

- Sound samples of 16kHz
- Ghost movement closer to original game
- All the intermissions, all the fruit, all the sounds
- Much improved joystick support

MsPacPc
v1.02 This was a bug release update to MsPacPc, there were a few bugs
that needed to be addressed.
- Sound card detect would sometimes fail, if you started the game in a DOS box under
windows/windows 95.
- Joystick control was re-written to make it easier to control, plus easier calibration
for game pads was added.
- Joystick sensitivity can be controlled as an option.
- Demo-mode sound can be turned on and off.
- Some game colours were just off.

PC*Bert v1.01 This
was a minor update to PC*bert 1.0.
