About this game

Mission Intelligence: c0man is a text-based reinterpretation of Pac-Man, originally coded for MSX and now ported to Amiga hardware. Instead of sprites, the maze, ghosts, and pellets are rendered as raw characters, turning the screen into a living terminal grid. This retro experiment fuses arcade gameplay with minimalist ASCII aesthetics, evoking classic mainframe energy. Ideal for fans of Amiga homebrew, demakes, and unconventional retro game design.
