Eat all the Pacgommes while avoiding meeting the ghosts, the goal of the game, the scoring of course. Eat the super-Pacgommes to get rid of ghosts and go as far as possible to discover the intermissions between certain levels. If you reach 10,000 points you gain a life!!!!

Files:
Version 1.01 : Added permission for Mega STe
The "PuckMan_STe_MSTe.st" file is a floppy image
The file "Puckman_STe_MSTe.zip" is the archive of game files for an HDD.
Be careful if you use a cathode ray monitor, you risk not seeing the lines at the bottom of the screen, in fact the game uses a vertical resolution of 274 lines, for this prefer an LCD monitor.

Tested on a real machine (Atatri 1040 STe / 4Mo) with TOS 2.06 Fr and on a Hatari emulator with TOS 2.06, 1.62 and 1.06. Tested on emulator for Mega STe with TOS 2.06. Minimum of 1mo memory required.
