CHAMP Pac-em
CHAMP Pac-em is a DOS shareware remake of the classic Pac Man arcade
machine. Like the other games in CHAMProgramming’s series of arcade remakes,
it closely emulates the original with two different game modes, the original
“Classic” mode and an enhanced “Champ” mode.
The “Classic” mode plays and feels much like the arcade machine, with very
similar graphics, sound and gameplay. You know what to do: Run through the
labyrinth, munch dots and avoid those naughty ghosts — or eat the power pill
to chase them for a change. You can also eat some cherries for bonus points.
Pac-em even has the original’s intermissions between some levels.
The “Champ” mode has the same game play, but features some special
enhancements like speed ramps, which speed you up for a certain time, or
random teleports. Finally, the game features a variety of options — one or
two player modes, three difficulty levels, adjustable game speed, input by
keyboard, mouse or joystick (Champ even released a “Champ cable” that allowed
you to play the game with digital joysticks), and a high score table to round
it all off.
