1983 DK'Tronics (UK)

It's Pac-man again! The surprise!
Yup, another formulaic clone of the munching man.

Oh look another Pac-Man clone. And I have to be honest, not that bad. I understand why people wouldn't like this one, but I've played much worse. This one is pretty responsive at least and I was able to navigate around the maze without any trouble of Pac-Man not responding to my directional commands, and that makes a huge difference in judging what is a good clone and a bad clone. This isn't great but it isn't terrible by any means, fairly decent I'd say, I was expecting a lot worse.

Early, partly BASIC, 16k Pacman clone. It is significantly better than the previous sentence might lead you to anticipate.
Graphics are neat, if a little small (character square based). It has smooth, responsive gameplay, adequate sound and most things you'd expect from a decent Pacman ripoff. The behaviour of the ghosts is slightly questionable at times, but the game still functions decently.
Far from the best, and far from the worst.
