Other than that the game is faithful to the arcade classic. The Two Player version of the game is fun, although in both versions it's tough to maneuver Pac-Man without a joystick. Pac-Man can also grab tasty fruit snacks and other bonus items that enable him to score big, earn extra lives, and generally have a good time. While they're blue he can munch them down for bonus points. Pac the can grab a giant power pill and turn the ghosts blue. Unfortunately for Pac-Man a troop of nasty ghosts haunt him as he cruises around the maze. When he's gobbled up all of the pills he can move on to the next maze. If you've yet to be initiated, here's all you need to know: Pac-Man is a round mound of fun who must cruise around a maze-like screen and gobble up all the little yellow power pills. Hmm.įor those of you just arriving on Planet Earth, Pac-Man is one of the classic video games that started it all in the arcades.
One helpful tip is the fact that hungry ghosts cannot enter the tunnels immediately above the center box from the bottom entrance. Good players will take advantage of this and the various "safe spots" located throughout the board. Each ghost has his own "home corner" that they must return to after leaving the center box or a certain time period. The ghosts may be in black-and-white, but they have retained the specialized personalities of Pinky, Blinky, Inky, and Clyde of the coin-op. The cart uses the standard Pac-man maze, and some of the original patterns work too. A special two-player option allows two people with the official video link to go at it head-to-head! Also translated into GameBoy Pac-man is the option to view either a large partial screen or a smaller complete screen.
