Gobman

About this game

Gobman is one of many Pacman clones that is available on the DOS platform. Gobman features many different game board layouts (unlike the original Pacman game which only has one layout; so its more similar to Ms Pacman). There are also new items that you can pickup to help you collect the dots and avoid the ghosts. The difficultly level in this game is not as intense as in some other Pacman clones Ive played, and it generally plays very smoothly.Gobman is a classic action-adventure platform game released in the early 90s for DOS. This game draws clear inspiration from the legendary Pac-Man but with a fantasy twist. Instead of a maze, you control a goblin-like character who navigates through various levels, collecting treasures, avoiding enemies, and solving simple puzzles. The game has elements of classic arcade gameplay but adds unique mechanics and challenges to keep things fresh. Key Features: Pac-Man Inspired Gameplay: In Gobman, the core gameplay follows a similar structure to Pac-Man, but with a few twists. Players navigate through different levels, collecting treasure and avoiding enemies. Each level has a series of items (typically treasures) scattered throughout, and the goal is to collect them without getting caught by enemies. Fantasy Setting: The game’s storyline is based in a fantasy world, featuring goblins, treasures, and various enemies. Unlike Pac-Man, which is set in a maze, Gobman allows for more freedom of movement and exploration within a larger environment. Challenging Levels: As you progress, the levels increase in difficulty, with more complex enemy patterns and additional hazards. Each level is filled with obstacles, enemies, and power-ups that change the strategy you must employ to complete it. Power-ups and Bonuses: Similar to classic arcade games, Gobman features power-ups that temporarily give the goblin special abilities. For instance, certain power-ups might allow the goblin to destroy enemies, speed up movement, or increase point collection. The more treasures you collect, the higher your score, and you can unlock extra lives or bonuses for special achievements. Enemies and Obstacles: The game features various types of enemies, each with different movement patterns and behaviors that add to the challenge. Some enemies might be faster or more difficult to avoid, and some levels introduce new traps and environmental hazards. Simple Controls: The game uses a straightforward keyboard control system, with easy-to-use directional inputs to move the character through the levels. The user interface is simple, with basic controls to start, pause, and exit the game, making it accessible even for beginners. Retro Graphics and Sound: The graphics feature simple pixel art, typical of many early 90s DOS games. The environments are colorful but somewhat basic by today’s standards. The sound and music are light and catchy, giving the game a fun and retro arcade feel.
