Spectrum Computing

Hi! I was in contact with the authors of this game, and uncovered some details
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=3585



- The game is from Argentina (Idem Software), the same for all the authors.
- The game has an award: 2nd place winner of a local programming competition organized by the local magazine K64 (issue 18, Sep 1986).

There is also an entry on the StrategyWiki page: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Pac-Man%27s_Revenge

I'm not sure who is the publisher of the game. I'm pretty sure is not Idem Soft, since it is just a name invented for the competition. The magazine probably distributed the game at some point (it has a copyright message on the loading screen, so, someone more or less official published the work), but the authors confirmed they have no idea.

Regardless of the result of the investigation, that loading screen is going to give me nightmares...

Great discovery anyway. I bet these Argentinian guys couldn't sleep when they learnt that they are classified as Spanish in biggest Spectrum database

When I contacted them via Twitter, they were totally unaware of all this. I sent them the loading screen and the reaction was "where you got THAT from?".

Thank you! Additional information will be available in the next ZXDB update.

Hi! I'm reviving this thread as I managed to recover a tape image file of this game, from an old C60 tape with other pirated games.

I've already sent it via the ZXDB edit form, but I'm sharing it here too
