Asure Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I can't seem to remember the title, but here's what i remember - I think it's a pac-man clone? - It had a colorful title screen with 'up-n-down' jumping main characters and a maze on it i think. - They moved to the music up-n-down, it was a very catchy tune, the jumping characters may be on a row on top of the screen? - As a kid i was amazed at this game, it was very colorful and had (in my experience) very good multichannel music - Might have been a PD title, or magazine release game. Maybe rabbits and carrots? It came to me on a tape, from a colleague of my mother, who did the 64K upgrade to my 600XL to show off the machine/upgrade. He was very active with computers so that's why i think it may have been a PD title, i'm not sure. Does it ring any bells for anyone?

devwebcl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Although it is not PD, it could be Jumpman. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-jumpman_2713.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It might be a long shot, but it sounds like you`re talking about Flip & Flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 You might try looking through Antic, Analog, Compute! magazines on archive.org. You can skim through the pages without downloading the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geister Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I think I know the game you mean but I can't think of the name of it. Did the maze have green walls instead of blue and was there a candy theme to the game. Sorry my old brain is blowing it on the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Jawbreaker is a candy-themed pacman clone. It had the same maze layout and I think they pulled it after pressure and released the horizontal "maze" format version. A toothbrush would come out and clean your teeth every time you cleared a level. Edited September 20, 2020 by invisible kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geister Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. Any help for our topic starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I little more detail might help... when you say character jumping up and down to the music at the top of the screen- are these text characters or cartoon characters? Do they stay at the top of the screen? or is that just a starting place for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this vague memory of seeing Pac-man on the 8-bit on display somewhere, except it had green mazes instead of blue. I wonder if I saw this game instead?
