Where to get Pac-Man

Pac-Man for Windows 95/98
	Microsoft's Return of Arcade: This is a commercial collection of 4 games, which sells for about $30. It includes Pac-Man, and it's a pretty good conversion of the original. It's not quite perfect (I've found at least one pattern that will work on the arcade version but not on Microsoft's), but it's darned close. As an extra bonus, for your $30 you get Pole Poition, Dig-Dug and Galaxian with it as well. You can download a trial version of the Pac-Man game contained in Return of Arcade at: http://www.microsoft.com/games/arcade2/ If you consider yourself "technically challenged", and just want to play Pac-Man on your PC, Microsoft's Return of Arcade is BY FAR the easiest way to do so. Just buy it, "run setup", and start playing!
	New! PacTray: A really neat idea... A Windows95/98 Tray Icon to launch all the classic Pac-Man games on your PC! Works with PacMAME, listed in the MS-DOS section below, and availabel fromt he same site: http://mameworld.retrogames.com/pacmame/pacmame.shtml

Pac-Man for MS-DOS
	New! PacMAME: A new version of MAME (The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) designed to play just Pac-Man and all the variations of it (Ms. Pac-Man, Puck-Man, Hangly Man, etc.) A nifty Win95 tray menu for it is available too, see the Win95/98 section above! http://mameworld.retrogames.com/pacmame/pacmame.shtml
	PacPC: One of the best free versions of Pac-Man I've seen is PacPC v2.0, which is available on JROK's page. He also has a free version of Ms. Pac-Man which is as good as the real thing when run in full screen mode.
	MAME: An even better verion is the emulated version included in MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.) It's also free, is nearly perfect because it's an emulation (original Pac-Man arcade patterns work and such), but you'll need a copy of the original Midway Pac-Man ROM images to play. Those are available on the net as well, but they're hard to find, and technically they're illegal to use unless you own a Pac-Man arcade game yourself. Use at your own risk. You can find MAME at: http://mame.retrogames.com/
	PC Atari: PC Atari is an Atari 2600 emulator for the PC, so you can play the old Atari 2600 home video game version of Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Pac-Man Jr. on your computer! http://www.classicgaming.com/pcae/
