PAC-DUDE Copyright (c) 1990, 1991 by Brian O'Neill

PAC-DUDE is a game that will work only on the CoCo3. You'll
probably notice that the title resembles the name of a popular,
well known game that has been around for many years. You
have seen hundreds of copies of it, and you might be quite sick
of it. However, you have never seen a really good version of it
done on the CoCo3. Well, this is it. If you haven't yet figured
out the more commonly known name for this game, this is a
PAC-MAN game.

To play the game, you must first have these files:

PACDUDE .BIN
PACMAIN .BIN
PACOBJ .BIN
PACDATA .BIN
PACFOOD .BIN
PACTITLE.BIN
PACSND .BIN

To start the game, type LOADM"PACDUDE" The program will
auto execute, load in the other files, and start the game. If
this does not work for you, restart the computer, go to the
32-column screen, and then push [CLEAR], [BREAK]. This will leave
a blank line at the top of the screen. Now, load in the program
as shown above. If a "F" appears at the top of the screen, this
means that one of the files in the previous list is missing. If a
"D" shows up, this is a DISK ERROR or I/O error. If a "S" appears,
this is a FILE STRUCTURE error, and track 17 is screwed up on the
disk.

Use the left joystick for game play. The button can be
used to pause the game during play. Now, I am not going to
explain how to play the game, because most likely you are
already familiar with PAC-MAN. If you aren't, it wont take long
to figure it out. Here's how the scoring is done:

1 for eating dots
25 for eating power pellets
100 for eating the first ghost
200 for the second ghost
400 for the third ghost
800 for the fourth ghost

100 for the cherries
200 for the pear
400 for the orange
600 for the apple
800 for the fifth bonus food

1000 for the sixth bonus food
1200 for the seventh bonus food
1500 for the eighth bonus food

What are the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th bonus foods? Play the
game and find out. After PAC-DUDE has eaten the 8th bonus, the
list starts over again at the cherries, however, everything
except the 8th bonus is worth 1200. The 8th is always worth 1500.
If you figure out what it is, you'll know why.

If you have anything to say or ask about this program, I
can be reached through FIDONET in the CoCo echo as Brian Oneill.

* NOTE: Version 1.1 is only a little different than version 1.0
The main difference is a fix for a bug in the routine that
checks for a high score.
