Pac-Girl is one of the clones of a Pac-Man game. It was released in 1982 for the PC-DOS operating system by the French programmer, Al J. Jimenez.
It was one of the few Pac-Man clones that ran in text mode (80 x 25). Before starting the game you could pick one of the four available speeds and start either a regular or a champion board game. The player starts with 3 lives and a board with 468 dots to clear.
The faster the PC, the faster the game works. Therefore, to achieve correct speed it should be run on an original IBM PC XT computer or under DOSBox emulator with 300 CPU cycles set up.
