I stumbled on this by accident and it was a lot of fun. I code on old 8-bit platforms and wondered about converting it. What is a good way to contact you? I followed you on X / Twitter.

it doesn't take long before the ghost is faster than you, at least when eating the pills. I decided to make the first couple of levels very easy so that even kids could get the idea and a feel for the game.
The intention was never to be a clone of Paku Paku, since it already exists and would be too easy to copy. Instead I used it as an inspiration as to what I would do with the premise, and as an exercise in game design and balance. I had half a dozen people playing it whilst I was coding it and you'd be surprised at the variation in how easy or difficult people found it.
as with another of my games, Lunar Rescue, I may well add the option to have a regular or hardcore mode.
Hi there - Pere, who did the conversion, said this:
using XRoar, after loading the .DSK disk and entering the command
LOADM"AST38T9H":EXEC
I can play without issues as many times as I have tried this version ... I have tested with 128K and also with 512K expansion
both in PAL and NTSC video outputs
Maybe he could tell us more about the problem ?
I mean, is he using an MPI while playing? or maybe other peripherals?
Hi there - thanks for the kind words. I did set up a discord server for my patreon supporters, but it's not very active currently. I also have a facebook group - www.facebook.com/groups/happycodingzx if that helps? also I am coding live on twitch, www.twitch.tv/happycodingzx if you're interested. Best wishes, Allan
