Pacman clone "Footman"

Pyromania · 04 January 2002, 21:23

Anyone have a copy of Footman (Great Pacman clone released in 1988 I think)? It is my wifes fav game and my floppy version is now bad. If someone could please u/l it. Hopfully it has been AGA, Harddrive and OS 3.1 fixed by now. Thanks in advance for you help.

Sorry for the repeat, I put this request in the wrong forum the first time.

You can grad the ADF disk into the zone

Don't know about HD install.

Yes, I always loved this game, too. Talk about an elusive original to find! Has anyone out there seen an original for sale anywhere of this great game? I have originals of three or four other games from TopDown, just haven't been able to get my hands on this one.

What other games has TopDown done? I thought Footman was the only one.

Well, they also did Space Knight (1989) and Vyper (1988), and I am pretty sure Hybris (which was published by Discovery later).

Best place to source an original is Germany if its recent appearance on Ebay is any indicator. Quick google search reveals that www.vintagecomputer.com also has a used copy for $US17.

The only one I saw on that page for sale was Vyper (which I have two originals of...a US copy and a Canadian copy) but no Footman.

Oh, and I don't think Hybris is the other title I was thinking of, after giving it more thought.

Have another look- it's on the same page as new games (http://www.vintagecomputer.com/amisoft.htm), but just further down under pre-owned games/entertainment software. List price is $16.95.

Yup. I stand corrected. Thanks!

I always thought Footman was the far superior Pac-Man game myself.

Question though ...

Was the player always "faster" moving until the other "ghosts" came out? It did this on Amiberry - but figured it was some sort of issue with emulation; but it does it on WinUAE too.

Can anyone with "real" hardware confirm the speed? I don't feel like dragging the CD32 out and finding the right disc collection
