Remember the good old days when the sub-ed area below used to be a haze of smoke.<BR/><BR/>A non-smoking Herald building is like a church with a 'No Prayer' sign.<BR/><BR/>And why are there all these threatending notices everywhere about what will happen to you if you do or not do various things.

It used to be a feverish atmoshpere once the familiar music came on with the p.com command in DOS mode. <BR/>Those who made 1 lakh points were the masters. I think we could have safely crowned Caetan as the master of that game. <BR/>Amazingly, despite pacman, the newspaper came out the next day and all the DI and press notes were typed out perfectly and even the pages were not delayed. <BR/>Pacman was the perfect example of how a little bit of play helped Jack to work better.<BR/>During those days, even after Herald's tech support guys wiped out all games from the system, citing shortage of server space, somewhere someone hid the game and brought it alive again.<BR/>The allure and addictivity of the PACMAN game was in its simplicity. it also occupied negligible disk space as compared to many games these days.<BR/>Recently when I was in Goa, my brother helped me to trace out the original Pacman we used to play in Herald. I had lost it when I left Herald but by the Grace of God, I managed to find it on the net.<BR/>What a coincidennce that I find a mention of it in Penpricks, just when I have begun to play it again after a long time, after nearly a six years gap.<BR/>After the original PACMAN, there were other less attractive versions. But i still prefer the original DOS pacman.<BR/>ofcourse nowadays I dont have to give the dos command of p.com but only have to double click on it. <BR/>If anybody still needs the game, pls contact me. <BR/>HAIL PACMANThe Hoolethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444821086501854996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-89494504042543393202007-05-19T19:32:00.000+05:302007-05-19T19:32:00.000+05:30Do these guys work at all?
