EMV Software has released a Mac OS X version of Deluxe PocMon, a recreation of an older Amiga title. The game puts players in the familiar maze environs of PacMan but introduces a variety of powerups including guns, lasers, and bombs. Deluxe PocMon features over 100 levels, several play modes, and the chance to play as a Ghost in multiplayer mode.

This game is made with 3 goals in mind. Great playability, a high level of addictiveness and most of all, great fun. Run through 100 levels of action while using the bonuses and tricks you learn to aid you. Bonuses such as guns, lasers, glue, speedups, bombs, ice, dynamite, score multipliers, presents and extra lives are all available and the list doesn't end there! There are also bonus rounds, secrets to learn, great vocals and pretty graphics with cool effects and plenty of options to play with.

But whats new? Have you wondered what it would be like to actually be the ghost? Well now you can in the new Duel Mode! Up to 4 players can battle it out for supremacy while using all the above bonuses against each other. If you are out of the game, you become a ghost and can run round to get your revenge! Race your Poc to that powerpill, pinch that X from player 2 and drop bombs in their paths to reign supreme. Theres also teamplay too. Team up in a group of up to 3 players and help each other out on the way through the levels. And still theres more... You can also have team duels! 2 versus 2 mode can be great fun for the whole family.
Deluxe PocMon is a Universal Binary application and costs $20. Head over to the website below for more information.

Why do Mac users have to wait 12 years for a game to be ported? :angry: This is exactly why REAL gamers use an Amiga. :nods:  :lol:

(And a correction: It appears to be called PocMon without any "a." The original seems to have been called "Deluxe PacMan," released in 1995.)

Not really. :P
