More great news this week as looking through the itch io website, we’ve found out that LC-Games has released the latest game of RandomPac for the Commodore 64. A game that isn’t just a tribute to Pac-Man, an arcade game released by Namco in 1980. But this version of the game has procedurally generated mazes and even bonus rounds to enjoy. To coincide with this news, there’s some footage of the game that can be watched below.
Originally released in the 1980’s as an Arcade game and then ported over to other systems, Pac-Man became one of the most successful American produced games selling over 115,000 cabinets. While many different clones of Pac-Man have appeared over the years, with a large amount appearing on the ZX Spectrum. This version by LC-Games for the Commodore 64 however, is well worth a play with feedback such as “Wow Looks Great” and “Excellent game!.
Although the game was released some time ago, an update was recently made available with the following changes.
- A bug introduced in version 1.3 caused the incorrect generation of random mazes, resulting in poor variety or even repetitiveness. In any case, maze generation has been overall improved, and even symmetrical mazes are now more interesting and varied.
- You can now choose between 5 different shapes for the maze walls.
- Added attract mode.
