Freeware clone of one of the most famous video games ever. In Scynse-Man (formerly known as Skull-Man), you navigate the "hero" through several mazes, gobbling all of the pills lying around and avoiding the evil Cigarette Ghosts hunting you. However, special power pills allow you to turn the tables and eat the monsters, earning lots of points. To gain even more points you can go for the fruits appearing at random places.
Your best performances are stored in the high score list, so you can play again and try to do even better. Scynse-Man is a popular arcade game remade for modern Windows systems, completely free of charge.
Programmed by Michael Hoffmann.

Another implementation of the game, originally developed for an online arcade. The concept is mostly the same, but the game was completely reprogrammed from scratch and has different mazes. It is only available in German but should be pretty self-explanatory.
