Found this on my friend's old burned CD that had random shareware, DOS tools, and broken game demos on it. File was called "PAC-MAN 2" but it is actually browser-based, so I hosted it here instead of sending files around.

It starts like normal Pac-Man, then every stage gets wronger. I can clear level 1, but I keep getting stuck on level 2. Posting it anyway in case someone can figure it out.

>> PLAY PAC-MAN 2 IN BROWSER <<

I grabbed this shot from my run right before level 2 boxed me in:


If your version shows different case text between levels, post what you get.

Level 1 is fine, level 2 still crushes me every run.

The lock timer helps, but after that I panic and feed ghosts.

Case file text is creepy as hell, not gonna lie.

I got to chase mode once. Eating ghosts to clear is a cool twist.

The janky movement sound is perfect 2000 web junk.

Can confirm level 2 wall flashes are not random, they pulse on a timer.

Level 2 still rough but at least not impossible now.

Blue vulnerable ghosts are easier to read than before.

Running this on IE5, audio clips and pops, but it works.

"Victims in maze" text gives me chills every round.

I always lose one life right when lock mode ends.

Play with arrow taps, not long holds. Helps in narrow lanes.

Still stuck on level 2 with two lives left every time.

I reached level 3 once, then ghosts boxed me near center tunnel.

Tested in Netscape 4.7. Surprisingly stable.

I like that level 1 is classic before it starts mutating.

Level 3 is where it spikes for me too.

Feels easier now than your first upload, for sure.

That low hum on level 4 is pure cursed arcade energy.

We are running this at the LAN cafe tomorrow night.

Bookmarking this thread. Best creepy browser game so far.

Finally beat level 2 this morning.

Level 3 is still hard, but not absurd anymore.

Story reads like a fake police log and I love that.

Whoever made this understood old arcade pacing pretty well.

My friend had the same file name on a mixed shareware CD.

Got to level 4 once. Creepy ghosts look way better now.

Max ghosts is 5 at level 5 for anyone asking.

Lock mode + chase mode combo is super readable now.

Phase switch made me run into a ghost instantly lol.

Tip: clear close pellets last so chase starts near ghosts.

I always choke in chase phase because of tunnel wraps.

Win98 + Netscape: playable, no script errors.

Works on Win95 too if sound is enabled after key press.

My brother finally got out of level 2 using lock timer only.

Level 4 faces are nightmare fuel. Great work.

I expected a joke game, this is actually pretty good.

Pac-Man horror mod in browser was not on my 2000 bingo card.

OP, do you still have the full CD image by chance?

I only have the loose files, not the full image. Disk was scratched.

The level 4 ambient pops on my speakers are unsettling.

I thought my sound card was dying, turns out it's intentional.

Chase tune sounds like a broken alarm panel. Good touch.

Level 5 Pac-Man face is genuinely cursed.

Ran scans, no suspicious behavior from this page.

Made it to level 4 and tapped out. Too tense.

This thread exploded lol.

Reached level 5 and lost in like twelve seconds.

No screenshot = no belief.

I hit level 5 and still died, but here is the screenshot anyway:

Okay that screenshot is legit terrifying.

The level 5 eyes are the worst part. Hate it, in a good way.

I still can't consistently clear level 3.

Use side tunnels to desync ghost groups on level 3.

Those tips helped, finally got into level 4.

Chase mode is easiest part for me now.

Still tense though, especially with level 4 hum in headphones.

Audio pops louder on old speakers than on headphones.

Beat all 5 levels tonight. Took me three full runs.

Same, finally beat it. Great janky horror vibe.

This thread deserves a sticky.

Mods should feature this in the next homepage update.

December check-in: still active, still creepy, still can't stop playing this thing.
