- This program is Shareware. Please copy it...
-
- If you find it useful, please send DM15 or $10 to the upper adress.
- Then you will become a registered user of this product. If you add a blank
- disc, I will send it back to you with Version 1.0 of the
- Paccer Level - Editor, including a 100% Save option for your self made
- levels. Besides, I will send you a Trainer Version of Paccer and the
- source codes of the game. If there will be a new version of Paccer,
- every registered user can use an update service.
-
- First of all, if you think Paccer is a cruncher, another Command Line Tool
- or a Dia Show you are badly informed. But if you think Paccer is only a
- little nice PacMan game, you're right. You can run Paccer from Workbench or
- from CLI. I have not noticed any problems with fast ram or external Disc
- drives. Please remember that all files that belong to Paccer must be in the
- current directory. If there are any problem because of File not found
- errors, Paccer sometimes quits automatically or it calls the Guru to help!
- If Paccer has loaded successfully, the Playscreen appears and a Text is
- shown in the first line. Whenever a Text is shown, you can quit the game by
- pressing the left MOUSE button. To continue press the firebutton on your
- Joystick.
- I think everybody knows the original PacMan, so I need not explain how
- to play Paccer. It is just like the original Game. There are only a few
- things that differ from the original.
- If you collect a Mystery, one of four(!) different extras will be activated.
- You can identify them by watching the color changes of the ghosts.
-
- - If colors do not change means that you stop collecting points, but if
- you pass an empty field, you will set a point. (Please forgive me...)
- - If colors become yellow the four ghosts clear all points on their way, so
- they help you clear a level.
- - If colors become black you can pass through a ghost without getting
- killed. But remember that you can't eat any ghost.
- - If colors become grey and the ghosts stop, you can eat without being
- disturbed by any ghost. But do not cross their ways...
-
- From level to level the ghosts increase their speed. It will get rather
- impossible to clear a level if the ghosts are faster than your paccer,but
- a good player will manage such levels, too (I hope...). After five levels
- you get an extra live to survive.
- If you have found any bugs or if you only want to get in contact with me,
- please write to me. Please tell me how you like this game or how I can
- improve it. If there will be a great resonance, I will write a new Version
- with new features like big playfields, two player option ...

-
-
- Enjoy this game and not your pirate copies...
