PC-Man
Description official description
A fairly faithful reproduction of the classic Pac-Man arcade game, considering its age and use of CGA graphics. As ever, the main character moves through a maze collecting dots and avoiding ghosts, using power pills for a chance to kill the ghosts for points.

A very good game. It's worth to play it...
The Good
PC-Man's graphics and sound effects (although it was PC Speaker!) was good, gameplay nice and challenger levels. It uses one CGA palette in main game and two for congratulations at the end of each level. Intro music was also good.
The Bad
The form of level was different from other Pac-Man style games, which makes levels harder. Another detail is that it was released only for PC Booter, when it might be also for other computers and video game consoles (specially for Colecovision, which didn't have an official Pac-Man game).
The Bottom Line
PC-Man is a very good Pac-Man-like game. If you have an old IBM PC, get the game and play it! Recommended.

Trivia
The game still runs at the correct speed even on pentium and higher CPUs. It just takes a long time to figure out what the proper throttle speed is.
