Product Information
A hybrid of Tetris and Pac-Man, Pac-Attack incorporates the falling block puzzle aspects of the former and the ghost-eating action of the latter. Twist and turn the blocks to line them up; when you complete a line of blocks, they vanish. Unfortunately, ghosts also fall from the top of the screen, cluttering up the playfield. Fortunately, Pac-Man appears from time to time and you can put him into position to gobble up the ghosts.<br><br>In the Normal Mode of play, the game continues until the blocks and/or ghosts have stacked up to the top of the playfield. The Puzzle Mode consists of 100 levels. You complete a level when you have gotten Pac-Man to eat all of the ghosts. If all of the ghosts are not eaten after a certain number of blocks and ghosts have fallen from the top of the screen, you lose. You can retry each level over and over, and there is a password feature that enables you to save your progress.<br><br>If you can get with a friend who also owns a Game Gear and a copy of Pac-Attack, you can hook up the systems using a Gear-to-Gear cable and engage in the 2-Player Versus Mode. The two-player game is similar to the Normal Mode, except that whoever survives the longest wins the round. Both modes of play incorporate fairies into the action. Each ghost Pac-Man eats adds a little gold to the Fairy Meter. When the meter is full, a fairy jumps onto the screen and throws a gold dust spell, effectively removing all the ghosts below it.Product Identifiers
