Finally! … a new game: “Pacu Pacu”

It has been a long time since I completed coding a game, but with this one I managed to have an idea that didn’t take too long to make 😅

Everyone knows Pac-Man from the arcade, right? Of course you do (at least if you’re as old as me, lol). Back in early 2024 Kenta Cho came up with a “Paku Paku” – a simplified “1D” version of Pac-Man. It’s a small, fun and addictive game, which due to it’s popularity, has since been converted to the ZX Spectrum, ZX Spectrum Next, Commodore 64PlaydatePico-8, Atari 2600 … and probably many other playforms that I haven’t found.

Well, I decided to bring this game back to the original hardware, so my version has been coded in Z80 assembler for the original Pac-Man arcade board. This means, that if you have an original Pac-Man arcade machine and an EPROM burner, then you can play it on that. Everyone else can still play it too, using an arcade emulator like MAME.
