Pac-Man 8K

Overview

This is the definitive arcade version of Pac-Man on the 2600. Pac-Man 8K was an attempt by Dintar816 to make a more arcade accurate version of Pac-man for the 2600 that was as close to the original as possible. Dintar816 started programming the game in 2007, but stopped in 2008, and then resumed programming in 2013. The most recent version was released in 2018 on the AtariAge forum.

The 8k in the game's title refers to the size of the game's rom.

This version of Pac-Man is completely unrelated to Pac-Man 4K, which was programmed by Dennis Debro and released in 2008.

Dintar816 also released a 4K Pac-Man which he expanded to this version to include tile and intermission screens.
