It can only go left (not down) so it goes left instead of right where there is an opening. It needs to go down-left to get to the pen. Clockwise: The '250' comes down on the right side of that loop. Let's take both cases (Clockwise and Counter-clockwise) separately: The 'destination' in that case is the center and top of the monster's pen. It's because of how direction are chosen. Unless they've drastically changed the path finding algorithm in the arcade version, it would most likely happen there too. With all of these weird maze shapes, and odd placements of the monster's pen, this is going to happen quite a bit. Whether it is points from being zapped or the remaining eyes after munching the monsters, if they enter into the square area 'loop' they do not leave it. PM_REDBL.A78 PM_REDBL.BIN Edited Decemby PacManPlus When energized, do not sit directly above the monster pen you will die. As I mentioned, this means it can be put on a 'standard' 48K cart. It is only Pac-Man, and it is only TIA Sound. From what I can tell, there is no indicator in the arcade version either. Also, there is no indicator of the 'energy' wearing off. The player turns white/grey after being energized by the fruit, instead of having a 'static halo' around it. There are 16 different mazes, which repeat the cycle after going through them all. I removed the Red Bull 'Truck' and just replaced it with more maze. I changed the maze that spelled 'Bull' to 'Bob'. I left the maze that spelled 'Red', as that is just a color. As mentioned above, each fruit contains this power (a 'la Pac-Man Plus), instead of a specialized fruit. I think I still need to add the 'zap' sound when a monster gets zapped by the 'energized' player.

The fruit now appears and disappears (like the arcade version) instead of coming in and out of the side tunnel like in Ms. The arcade game just made the 250 point indicator go off the side of the screen. This has been kept, although I replace the monster sprite with the '250' point indicator (instead of the eyes) that go back to the monster pen. NOTE: I noticed that in the arcade game after the player 'energizes' with Red Bull, he/she zaps any monster that is in the same corridor as them, no matter how far away, providing there isn't a wall in between the two. Change the player silver instead of the -static energy- from the Red Bull that surrounds the player. I guess it should be called 'Energy Drink Pac-Man'?

Remove the 'Red Bull' truck found in a few mazes, and replace with something else. Change the 'Red Bull' maze to say something else. Make the 'Cola Can' be the first fruit as well for obvious reasons. Make the fruit have the same effect as the Red Bull can (a'la PacMan Plus) instead of a 'specialized' fruit. Here are my proposed changes that will differentiate this from 'Red Bull' (to avoid anything legal): Thanks Bob.Just make sure that nobody spells 'Red Bull' as one word A78 versions on my DragonFly and they all worked well. the Dragonfly) or MiST emulators can give these a try and let us know if there are any issues (both of these of mine are put away at the moment). PMC_XM_S = PMC 40th Anniversary, Short Maze version That version only uses TIA sound and therefore did not need an update: PLEASE NOTE: I have also provided the 'Energy Drink' version of PacMan here for completeness. These have been tested on A7800 and the real thing, both with and without a Yamaha chip (via the XM). People still using 'ProSystem', (aside from being asked 'Why?') don't need this update as ProSystem still crashes with this Yamaha detection code as well. I have implemented that and have included them here. kind enough to provide us with an update to the Yamaha detection code (which is what was causing the issue). Hello alerted me to the fact that the PMC_40 bins crash on some 128K boards.
