0.37b14 [Zsolt Vasvari]

0.33b7 [Mike Balfour]

Bugs:

Clone theglobp: There is a significant speed increase per each new level. It gets to the point around level 4 or 5 that the game simply becomes unplayable at that speed. I'm not sure if this is the correct behavior or not. Bugfinder (ID 01194)

WIP:

0.104u2: Chaneman and David Widel added clone Super Glob (Pac-Man hardware) German bootleg - This set is from a modified Pengo board. Pengo and Pacman are functionally the same. The bad sound is probably correct as the sound data is part of the protection.
0.90u4: Dave Widel added clone Super Glob (Pac-Man hardware). Not sure if this is the official set, or an accidental merged set with 'The Glob'.
0.61: Added missing cpu1 rom ($1000) to clone (set 3).
26th June 2002: Zsolt Vasvari added a missing ROM to The Glob driver.

- 0.37b14: Zsolt Vasvari added Super Glob (Epos 1983) and clones The Glob, The Glob (earlier) and (set 3). Changed description to of 'The Glob' to 'The Glob (Pac-Man hardware)'. Renamed (theglob) to (theglobp). TODO: During the color test, Super Blob uses a busy loop to split the screen between the two palettes. This effect is not emulated. See $039c. The Glob has a different color test, not using the busy loop. Super Glob seems like a later revision of The Glob, the most obvious difference being an updated service mode.

7th April 2001: Zsolt Vasvari sent in an EPOS driver for The Glob, Super Glob and IGMO.
0.34b3: Juan Carlos Lorente added hiscore save in Beastie Feastie.
0.34b2: Clay Cowgill and Mike Balfour added clone Beastie Feastie (Pac Man hardware).
0.33b7: Mike Balfour added 'The Glob (Pac Man hardware)' (Epos 1983).
