ROB-MAN: The Ultimate C64 Arcade Challenge

ROB-MAN: The Ultimate C64 Arcade Challenge

Double the Players, Double the Panic!

Think you've mastered the maze? Think again. ROB-MAN is a ground-up Commodore 64 reconstruction of the arcade classic, written entirely in 100% Assembly, pushing the VIC-II chip to its absolute limits.

What makes ROB-MAN different?

🚀 Simultaneous 2-Player Co-op: No more waiting for your turn! Two players can clear the maze together in real-time. Work as a team to survive, or compete for the high score!

🧠 Evolving Ghost AI:

• Blinky (Red): A relentless predator that tracks your every move.
• The Pack: Three other ghosts with unique, unpredictable search patterns. As you progress, they get faster (10% speed increase per level!) and smarter.
• Strategic Retreat: In "frightened" mode, watch Blinky desperately scramble back to the ghost house.

🏰 10 Levels of Increasing Chaos:

• 4 distinct maze layouts with randomized stage selection.
• The Finale: Level 10 features a wide-open "Death Maze" with minimal walls—only the fastest players will survive.

🛠️ Technical Mastery (The "Pro" Stuff):

• Hardware Sprite Multiplexing: Using advanced raster interrupts to display scores and lives in the "open" borders.
• Pixel-Perfect Movement: Smooth, hardware-driven sprite action.
• Hidden Features: Built-in secret adjustments for ghost speed and a "Hidden Helper" mode to boost a beginner's confidence in 2-player sessions!

Controls:

• 1-Player: Joystick (Port 2) or Keyboard.
• 2-Player: Player 1 (Yellow): Keyboard / Player 2 (Orange): Joystick (Port 2).
