Welcome to the GS Pac-Man wiki!

Problems?

If you are experiencing problems running the game, please report it in the Issues area. Please include a screenshot, a description of the problem, the version of the game you are running, and your system configuration.

System Requirements

The game should run fine on a stock GS, but you must have more than 1mb of RAM installed. I'm not sure of the exact requirement but I am running it on my machine with 8mb (the max). If you have a more modest amount of RAM installed and are experiencing crashes or hangs, try launching with no inits or DAs by "shift-booting" your machine. As noted above, if you are still experiencing problems, please report it.

Controls

  • W/A/S/D - Player movement

  • 1 - Start game

  • 8 - Enable "Cheat Mode". Ghosts will no longer harm you but no points will be awarded.

  • 9 - Skip rack

  • J - Enable joystick (see note below)

  • K - Disable joystick (default)

  • [Apple]Q - Quit

Notes on using a joystick

Due to the nature of how joysticks work (they use timing loops) using a joystick will substantially slow down the game. I will look into optimizing this in the future as the game does not require analog control, but be advised.

Other notes

Currently "attract mode" and the intermissions are not implemented. They may be implemented at some point in the future.
