The "most successful coin-operated game"...at your home... WOW!!
Story: N/A
- There is no story.
Gameplay: 8/10
- The player controls Pac-Man through a maze, eating Pac-dots. When all dots are eaten, Pac-Man is taken to the next stage. Four ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) roam the maze, trying to catch Pac-Man. If a ghost touches Pac-Man, a life is lost. When all lives have been lost, the game ends. Pac-Man is awarded a single bonus life at 10,000 points by default. So the gameplay is pretty fun.
Graphics: 7/10
- The graphics are okay. They made everything look just like the arcade version that I have been playing in those restaurants.
Sound: 9/10
- The sound effects of Pac-Man chomping up little dots are not forgettable; as recently, they made a commercial with a white van running through orange dots while it sounds like Pac-Man chomping them up! The little piece of music just before the stage is also not forgettable!
Overall, I give this game an 8 out of 10. It would be rated higher but, the Nintendo version lacks the arcade stick. Using the arcade stick before made it seem like I was controlling Pac-Man as a plane!
