The Pac-Master Collection was originally an all-in-one collection of our earliest games. That included the original Pac-Master, Pac-Master Christmas Edition, Pac-Mistress, a remastered Pac-Master and a game made up of deleted levels.

Of those, perhaps because it was our most widely distributed CD, three of five survive. The original Pac-Master, Christmas, and Pac-Mistress. With the recent renewed interest in preserving these games I tracked these down in my storage.

Warning: these games are old and buggy, and not at all polished. Play at your own risk.

Unfortunately Trouble in Pacville remains lost. All that seems to exist is the following clipped recording:

Pac-Master 3, the most polished and closest to actually being fun of the series, this did seem lost too, other than the shareware demo. It was fortunately recovered in bizarre circumstances.

The cult of which my late Pac-Master co-creator and friend Zach Darcy was part, distributed this game to its members. New World Strategies, as they were called, provided a mandatory CD to every member. There are some esoteric late stage additions Zach included, that may be why this was part of the initiation.

In any case, a former member, Nick Austin, provided a photo to several members of our community that showed this CD smashed into bits. Fortunately I was able to find one just like it in Zachs old storage that his parents had left me after his passing.

Pac-Master 4 was mostly a solo venture by Zach that was never completed. I did promise to share the source code with the community after his passing but unfortunately this was lost too.

All that exists is this clipped recording of an unfinished level:
