WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

A request from the EAB forum for this nice little Pacman clone. It was
almost a quick install, until I found the full level editor hidden away!
The combination to unlock this is somewhat annoying, requiring you to hold
left+right mouse button, and joystick fire+left for 5 seconds, so I have
simply enabled it from the title screen (with menu text) by default.
Naturally, loading and saving levels from it is supported if you wish.

The game code is mostly fine, but there were some blitter waits needed for
68020+ machines, otherwise certain graphics were corrupted.

Enjoy! :-)
