PacManPlus over on Atari Age Forums started a thread back in April about a WIP version of Baby Pac-Man for the Atari 7800.

I’ve checked some of the manuals, and it was really a trip down the memory lane :). Some of the manuals of games published by Atari itself are a pleasure to check, mainly because of…
