- Pac-Man Arcade Enhanced (Atari 2600) (Internet Archive)
Everyone’s familiar with the now infamous version of Pac-Man that Atari unleashed to its legions of 2600 fans. If you’ve ever wished for a version of Pac-Man truer to the original, Rob Kudla has modified the much better Ms. Pac-Man and turned it into the Pac-Man Atari should have released. This is a fairly significant hack, and here are the changes Rob made to Ms. Pac-Man: Changed the graphics Altered the theme music Changed audio code to improve authenticity Changed playfield color and layout Got rid of extra tunnel and three extra mazes Made fruit sit in the middle of the screen without moving Added the siren If you’re a Pac-Man fan, you owe it to yourself to get this version!
- Iodine (Wikipedia)
Iodine is a chemical element with the symbol I and atomic number 53. The heaviest of the stable halogens, it exists at standard conditions as a semi-lustrous, non-metallic solid that melts to form a deep violet liquid at 114 °C (237 °F), and boils to a violet gas at 184 °C (363 °F). The element was discovered by the French chemist Bernard Courtois in 1811 and was named two years later by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, after the Ancient Greek Ιώδης ‘violet-coloured’.
