Pacmanoid is not, as I hoped, some sort of Pac-Man / Asteroids mashup. (What would that even be like?) Instead it's another variant of the original Pac-Man. This game, made in QuickBasic (and from the sound of it, the programmer's first released game, or one of the first) plays decently enough. The goal is the same, collect all the dots and avoid the ghosts (of which there are only two). The maze layout doesn't change between levels and there are no bonus items other than the power pellets (at least, not that I saw). but it controls well enough. It also includes full QuickBasic source code.
