This is a neat little Pac-Man clone by Nytar, thrown together at some point after Demon Earth was finished.

Though the game has no sound, the graphics are as spot-on a recreation of the arcade version of Pac-Man as MZX mode 0 can get. The gameplay, however, is quite different; levels are much larger than the original game, taking up several screens. Rather than eating every single dot, your requirement for completing a level is to eat dots and power pellets to gain a certain amount of power, at which point you will be able to open the gate to the next level. Power pellets give large amounts of points in the first few levels, but these amounts decrease as you proceed through the game, requiring the acquisition of more dots to advance.

The challenge is a bit lacking. Though the ghost AI in this game is worlds above Stuffyou City's, with intelligent ghosts that run slightly faster and will actually give chase around the maze, it is still relatively easy to dodge them, as due to the size of each level, they mostly tend to dwell around the screen you aren't on, and are usually easily dispatched in singles or doubles by nearby power pills.

All in all, despite its flaws, this game is a decent way to kill some time, and definitely worth a download.
