Pac-Man (Atari 5200)

A much more faithful port of Pac-Man than what the Atari 2600 got.

Revisional Differences#

A second version of the game was made to fix a bug present on Level 17 and any level after 18. Upon eating a power pill in said levels, the ghosts would stay vulnerable until either the level ended or Pac-Man ate them.
