Boy did this thread go in the wrong place! Anyway, some members of the forum are bringing digitized graphics and even a translation of the Namco hit Pac-Man to (hold onto your hats, folks!) the Fairchild Channel F. Yes, the game system with those creepy phallic joysticks. I've tried the Pac-Man beta and it's incredibly impressive... it may not look or sound like much, but the gameplay is surprisingly close to the arcade original. Give the ROM a spin on the MESS emulator... you won't be disappointed!

Thanks - I'm sure that head-author "Blackbird" is as happy as I am to hear this.

 

It's even better with Channel F II sound, the modified version of MESS can be downloaded from here:

As you can see from the file-name it also has the debugger (I think it needs to be turned on in one of the ini-files to be able to use it) and another special thing about it is the palette-file which lets you set the colors in a binary file - correcting the colors to look more natural.

 

Latest VES Pac-man binary:

Wow, the pacman is fairly impressive... :)
