Its for 1-3 Players, has 5 levels, various fruit, and lots of dots
If you could criticize, suggest, or comment on it you'd be helpful

Did know that other people can edit the map beca sue it isn't locked? I am the first one to DL it so, you might want to fix that before other people do.

This map was alright...pretty much an average Pac-Man map.

so simple, it needed some sound effects to give it that real pac man feel

It did have sounds in it but apparently when I protected it it didnt save the sounds 
So check back at first post for unprotected version with sounds

Nice map. I thought it was a little easy thought. And some of the sounds werent that audible.

I would have to say this is a good map, and its a good classic game. What you shouldve done is make more then just one level in the same map, like when you beat the first level you get to be able to go onto the next level on the same map. Just a suggestion. Anyways hope to see more of your pacman maps.

I was dissapointed... very...
I was hoping to see the REAL arcade pac-man in action as implied from the title.
Most of the pac-man map makers have the KEY ingredient all wrong...
The "ghost's" AI...
In the real arcade version, each of the four "ghosts" do a different thing:
-Ghost1) This ghost will continuously follow you forcefully running into you.
-Ghost2) This ghost will try to trap you by letting the Ghost1 lead you into its trap.
-Ghost3) This ghost will try to block off routes that you could potentially take, by walking into areas that you will most likely turn into to excape Ghost1 and Ghost2 and staying in mid range from you.
-Ghost4) This ghost will wonder around somewhere in the opposite side of the map and will be passively moving around until you reach its range, then after will switch AI with Ghost1).
Thats basically the main flaw in every pac-man map ive seen and this flaw is very evident in this map.
The units just junkyard around...
Aside that, everything is pretty much correct.
Wheres that one thing that warps you to the other side? ='(
Oh yea, another thing that I disliked was, you can stop moving... thats pretty unrealistic... it allows for very cheap strategies and player blocking...
Ill make a real pac-man map one day. "blow the competition away" as you say it..

The warpers are on the sides, its u shaped so the ghosts will walk into them, and I couldnt do the AI like the real pacman because itd mix up the units and itd be too hard with multiplayers.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Red2Blue on 2005-04-11 at 01:30:39
Not true at all... You could use different units to take the place of the AI's
And its not too hard at all with multiplayer.
each ghost does something different.
Heck you've played the original pac-man before right? You've probably seen what I stated about the pac-man AI. But, haven't you seen them doing something different at times? The AI I have stated was in a perfect environment. Usually the AI's don't happen at all, and all the "ghosts" will stay with the Ghost4 AI, wondering around aimlessly.
What im trying to get at is; under the Ghost4 AI, people STILL die. Its no joke. The pac-man game has very clever AI scripts. Im just saying...
Its not so real if they just junkyard aimlessly...

I don't know what's wrong, but I downloaded the map about 5 minutes ago and Starcraft can't run it. It just crashes. Were you doing any advanced mapmaking tricks? I know that 2x speed with sprites doesn't work on a Mac...

I didnt really use any tricks, just color, 273 dots, 273 defilers, lots of sound and a script.

Red2Blue,
Your being critical now.
I enjoyed testing this map, even though it was near completion when I got on it.
And its not easy if you set it on hard ;(
LMAO We had like a full house, and we all died within like 3 seconds of each other, lol.
Anyways,
Since this is the only Pac-Man game that isn't gay, I'll give this a 8 out of 10.
I still love it though.
Anyways,
I'm sure Elvang could make it to where.. nm, I'll tell him later can't be giving "competition" any ideas now can I -.^

You can do what Red2Blue said AND use players 9-12 if you need even more comps.
Also instead of controlling the ling directly I would make it controlled via grid movement by building units or dropship with left right up down.

Meh, my "pacman style" map is more like pacman than those other pacman maps out there.
Usually, as red2blue mentioned (i think), the ghosts are suppose to be randomized/do different things. Well in mine, the "bad guys" just wander around randomly, killing anyone they bump into. And since the paths in this map are 1x1s, then it's pretty hard to evade them.

Agreed.
And,
The map is called "Neo Pac Man LvL 1"
Hence the "Neo" meaning new. So hah!

Okay, you guys... saying he should deserve credit...
I think he doesn't deserve much credit... why?
He boasted about it and bragged saying its the BEST out there. Simply not true. There are many "hidden," "secret" pac mans out there.
and
He wanted me to criticize, might as well do a good job at it and explain how I felt. Anything less would be lieing. It was helpful.
And, he shouted the link to the map 4+ times in the shout box, over and over about how good it was.
Might as well give him my two cents worth.
And I wasn't being overcritical and picky. He said it was Arcade Stlyed pac man.. That simply wasn't Arcadelike at all...
