CNET Editors' note: In February of 2000, there was an unauthorized release of this game that came with an installer. That release is not connected to JROK Games in any way. The installer changed your browser window to an advertising page and placed an advertising icon on your desktop. This problem has been corrected, and you may now download this game without any further disruption.
Publisher's Description
From JROK Games:
If you remember the '80s, chances are you remember playing a game called Pac-Man. PacPC is a free clone that brings the hungry yellow dot and even hungrier ghosts to your PC's desktop. Just as in the original game, the object is to speed around the onscreen maze, munching dots and the occasional bonus goody on the way. Avoid the ghosts at all costs, unless you munch out on one of those really big dots: only then are the tables turned on those meddlesome spooks.

"Another Mal-Ware loaded download"
Version: PacPC 2.1
Pros
You can erase it from your hard-drive.
Cons
It can be removed from your hard-drive.
Summary
Another 'down-load' from C-Net that loads your hard-drive with Malware. C-Net states that they check downloads for virus programs but they should do the same for malware!!!!

"One of the Best PC/DOS Games Ever of all time."
Version: PacPC 2.1
Pros
You can use a keyboard or joystick.
The Game has two video modes.
You can now play this game with Dosbox.Cons
Only con I can think of is that you can't play this game with today's CPU Tech that has Vista or 7. You have to download a Dos-Base Emulator just to play it on a CPU with Vista or 7 today.
Summary
As I mention this is one of the Best PC/DOS games ever.
Since doing the review for Pacpc I have played the Arcade Version though MAME. Another pro about this game is that it's as good as the Arcade Version. If you use DosBox or any DOS-Based Emulator you might want to download the game.
But if you want to play it on Windows Vista or 7 you best get a Dos-Base Emulator just to play it on today's Windows Operating Systems.
This Game still works for those who use Windows 3.X up till Windows XP of course. That's only if you still use those systems.
Anyhow this is still a good classic.

"Did not work for me"
Version: PacPC 2.1
Pros
I was unable to actually test this program properly
Cons
Bottom line tells it all
Summary
It never reconized my "joystick" and I tried 3 different ones. and then after trying to exit the program It crashed the PC. I have been able to recover it as I am a technician. but if you do not have alot of patients and if you use a wirless keyboard it will not function quick enough to play this game. The split second it takes for the signal from the keyboard to the computer can mean missing the turn.
