PacMan Remakes

Here are two PacMan remakes for you…
First, there is Deluxe PacMan. (Windows only, needs DirectX). Apparently, this game has 114 levels – now that should keep you busy for a bit!

(Oh No) More Invaders from Space!

The game has some additional elements such as power-ups, various weapons and apparently, from the site’s description, you have to protect cows from [...]

MegaFenix Reloaded

MegaFenix Reloaded is based on the 1991 game called MegaPhoenix from Dynamic. The game looks a bit like Galaxian, so of course it has to be fun!
It’s portable, but it’s a bit big at 55MB. Great graphics and lots up power-ups. What’s different than traditional Galaxian is that if you get hit, you get [...]
