Developer’s Description

By SpaceInvaders.de

Get a screensaver with cool animation and original sound from the classic Pacman and Ms. Pacman arcade games.

Pac Saver is a Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP screensaver. It faithfully emulates Pacman and Ms. Pacman hardware when used in conjunction with images from the original arcade ROM's (must be downloaded separately from a ROM site). This allows Pacman to be your screen saver while you are away from your desk. Hit a hot key to play the game, and bring back all those fond arcade memories. Insert a few quarters "into the game" by hitting the #3 on your keyboard and then press 1 or 2 players to play the game.

A good concept but bad product...
silver_windNovember 29, 2005
Pros
Although the concept of building an emulator into a screen saver is in itself a great idea.
Cons
The program wouldn't run properly causing a uninstall wizard to run right after the installation wizard had finished installing the program causing an error. I doubt its my computer maybe a compatability issue judging by the other complaints. I do know that I am going to run an anti spyware program to be safe. I don't recommen this product it might be unsafe but to my knowledge it is deffective. Silver Wind

This screensaver is great! It works flawlessly once you get it installed. The only downside is that to properly install it, you have to find the rom images yourself. This is understandable since the author would be infringing copyright laws if he included them with the screensaver. Also, even though registration is free, the author's site no longer exists. If anyone is comfortable with editing the registry and wants to remove the nag screen, email me and I'll tell you how. Thanks, MailToJosh@Yahoo.com

Their choice of distribution is horible! What you download here is just the installer which doesn't come with the ROM files needed for the screen saver to actually function. Until I searched through the screen saver configuration, found the About screen, manually typed the URL into my browser, and studied their website long enough to learn that they intentionally leave out files that are vital to the screen saver's functionality, I thought it just didn't work. They need to bundle everything together or provide better instructions on how to make it all work. Plus their Contact link on their web page doesn't work.
this must be a trogen
