PacXon

PacXon is a mixture of two old arcade games. Pac-man like figures race around the screen as you try to fill in the square by outlining areas. Once outlined, the square will fill in automatically.

The ghosts can be maddeningly difficult to trap. If you are strung out, and they hit your back trail, you will lose a life. Ghosts can appear in the blank areas, or in the areas you have already filled in, so be careful. The big red ghosts are particularly dangerous, as if they hit a wall, they will remove any filled in blocks (not the side edges, though).

One particularly bad issue with this game was how the little pink ghosts would hit me even though I was sitting on a 'filled block'. Very upsetting, to say the least.

But overall, it can be quite addicting, just as the old games were.
