A ROM of an apparently damaged game board found locked in a safe in the back of an old arcade. Gameplay appears relatively consistent with the classic "PacMan". Primary differences are:
Player cannot see what PacMan cannot seeGhosts behaviors are... unique.Players who finish the original arcade game board suffer severe psychological and occasionally physiological trauma, up to and including death of the subject (ROM's effect is significantly reduced).Controls

WASD/Arrows: Move PacMan
M: Mute audio
G: Disable / Enable CRT Effect
