How Do I Set Up PacMan On My PC?

I was wanting to get Pac-Man to use on my personal computer. Anyone know where can a get a good version of the old Arcade version of Ms. Pac-Man and get a decent joystick that would work with it. I would appreciate any advice I could get on this subject.

For the licensed Pac-Man, I belive it would need to be run on an emulator which is only legal if you have the original game for NES (or whatever it came out on). Unfortunately, this is a rather grey area and therefore isn't allowed to be talked about on these forums.

However, there may be a pacman game or one extremely similar that you could run on your PC. I didnt find one in a quick google search though =/

Actually, I was a little interested too and found this:

Then you could use a freeware program like Joy2Key to use a joystick.

Its not the official pacman but from playing it briefly, it seems alright.

Thanks for the information. Any recommendations on a decent joystick for use with Pac-Man that are under $35?

I was looking at this one:

Saitek ST290 Joystick - $23

Sadly, Windows Vista doesn't support DOS programs which is what the Pac-Man programs are written in that you gave me links to.

I get an error code whenever I try to run the Pac-Man programs.

Error code states:
"This system does not support full screen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."
