This a game about a yellow man eating pills in 512 bytes. It can be
run as a COM file or put into a boot sector of a floppy disk to be
run.
Move with arrow keys.
It's compatible with 8088 (the original IBM PC). So you now have
to look for a 8-bit compatible VGA card if you want to run it in
original hardware ;)
A small video of the game running under emulation:

If you want to assemble it, you must download the Netwide Assembler
(nasm) from www.nasm.us
Use this command line:
nasm -f bin pillman.asm -Dcom_file=1 -o pillman.com
nasm -f bin pillman.asm -Dcom_file=0 -o pillman.img
Tested with VirtualBox for Mac OS X running Windows XP running this
game, it also works with DosBox and probably with qemu:
qemu-system-x86_64 -fda pillman.img
Enjoy it!
