Not to be mistaken for A-J Games's Pac or Erwin Bergervoet's PC-Man.

Apparently this is the sequel to Zapak, and the precursor to Pakmon.

Resources[edit]

Sprites[edit]

  • Nearly every level has a different character sprite. Most are edits of the same one or two original sprites.

Maps[edit]

  • The game is based roughly on Nebula. There's an easy mode and a hard mode; each mode has a space level that leads to a red and a green planet, and then the sun.
  • The intro level seems mostly original.
  • One of the space levels has been redecorated with graphics from Doom.
  • Several levels also appear to be retrospectively borrowed from Pakmon.

Availability[edit]

Distributed through contemporary bulletin boards, through the author's Website, and through several third-party mirror archives.

Archive History[edit]

On November 7, 2010, Demu.org maintainer Swizzle pointed out the archive of Gary Acord material on the site -- which was swiftly added to the Game-Maker Archive.
