About this product

Product Information

This is Pac-Man in name only, bearing just a passing resemblance to the arcade game everyone had come to know and love. In the place of Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde are flickering, off-white, anonymous ghosts. Next, a "vitamin" has replaced the fruit. In addition, the scoring isn't right and the escape routes are in the wrong places. But somehow, despite its faults, the game ends up having an unexplainable, quirky charm. Maybe it's the now-familiar opening music, the "bok choy" sound when you eat a ghost, or the fact Pac-Man looks more like a square than a circle. And short of having a full-size arcade game in your living room, it was the only way to play Pac-Man at home in 1981. For those interested in a much better Atari VCS translation of a Pac-Man game, check out Ms. Pac-Man instead.
