Dutchman2000 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Here is a BIN and CAR of Roklan's 16k Pac-Man that includes the attract mode and intermissions that were missing from the regular 8k cart. I know this has been made available for years in other formats but not in cartridge form as far as I know. Thanks to Cafeman and tep392 for helping me get this one done.

+MrFish Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Cool.. thanks! Was the source for this a Roklan ROM, source code, or was it derived from other binary versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Just for reference... here's the original thread where it was released (as witnessed in the thread, I actually didn't miss it's release; but totally slipped my mind due to life circumstances at the time).

+Allan Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 @Dutchman2000 So is this the original cartridge image that Roklan did for Atari until they (I assume) said they wanted an 8K version instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this was done after they did the 8k version for Atari. Atari was going to release a disk version but that never happened. This is made from Roklan source code and no changes were made to it other then make it for a 16k cart and the DASM assembler. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Here is a bootable disk version, how it would have been released had Atari done so. This was built using the original Roklan disks. Pac-Man (10-3-82).atr Edited March 22, 2023 by Dutchman2000 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Interestingly, they were using a darker blue in the 16K version, compared with the 8K release. All the other colors appear to be the same in both. As a side note, we used a blue that is right in between the two luminances used here, for Pac-Man Arcade.

This is a disk of Pac-man source I got from an employee. Maybe you can compare to what you have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
