Oh yeah, the whole new-beat thing with the smiley buttons.

As far as I know the smiley came first (together with the famous 'have a nice day' quote), then came Pac-man, a digitized smiley eating dots and being haunted by ghosts.. :blink: Pretty deep when you come to think of it :P

Yes the game is almost completely identical. I haven't played it 'till the end, but what I've seen so far - looks exactly like Fury of the Furries - that's why there's a link to that game at the bottom.
It's like Super Mario Brothers and the Great Giana Sisters (those who remember will know - those who don't remember should look it up)!

Can't get it work :angry:

by the way you can download the great giana sisters here

Spoonman: the smiley :-) came in 1982 and pac in time is a good game although it is an official hack(aka. this is only a reprogramming of Fury of the Furries.)

Actually the smiley was made in the 60s, became popular in the 70s when it was used commercially and then in the 80s it became symbol for New-beat in Europe. The buttons were mostly 70-80s though. I remember collecting them.

'official hack'.. nice way to say 'lame rip-off' :P Not a lot of reprogramming has been done but the removal of the password and the replacement of the main character(s). Oh yeah and the intro animations ofcourse.

About smileys: was that the ascii character smiley (you know: alt-001 and 002) or the ':-)'? I only heard about the last kind of smileys when I got internet in 1998.. at first I kept thinking people were mistyping all the time

[WolverineDK]

spoonman it is the ":-)" smiley and my information was from an email i got and it was two scientists who spoke to eachother over one of the former networks(maybe an early form of internet ?) via mail and now i will shut up for now

[Spoonman]

[pooiyee]

PS: i am talking about pac in time.
