Pac-Man, the yel🌄low, ghost-chasing, fruit-eating fellow, is one of the oldest and most recognized video game mascots of all time. It makes sense that he has been in an abundance of video games over the four decades since his arcade debut.
Games like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, v𝐆arious spin-off games and compilations, and a few animated series based on these titles are all things that fans may be familiar with. However, there have been so many Pac-Man games over the years that ther꧑e are plenty that you may have never even heard of or knew existed. Here are some of the best.
10 Pac-Man🌞 Adﷺventures In Time
Pac-Man: Adventures in Time, not to be confused with the older Pac-In-Time, is a PC-exclusive game that ꧅launched in 2000. As the title implies, Adventures in Time sees Pac-Man exploring levels throughout different time periods. He has to collect a key piece of an artifact in each, so that it can be put back together.
Due to being 3D, Adventures in Time adds features not present in previous Pac-Man games. These include 𝕴slopes, obstacles, multiple stories, different maze shapes, and more. It al๊so features a multiplayer mode, 16 mini-games, and eight special cheat codes.
9 Ms. Pac-Man: Quest For The Golden Maze ꦯ
Ms. Pac-Man: Quest for the Golden Maze launched in 2001, and unlike the multiplatform title Ms. Pac-Man: Maze Madness that launched a year earlier, it was only released on PC. Quest for the Golden Maze uses the familiar gameplay of Ms. Pac-Man, reuses some elements of Maze Madness, but adds a few new feat🦹ures.
These new features include a baby ghost, which can make power-ups appear when touched, and bonus areas where all the fruit must be eaten to obtain a golden fruit. As of the time of writing, Quest for the Golden Maze was also the last🔜 game to exclusively star Ms. Pac-Man.
8 ✱ Pac-Man All-Stars
Pac-Man All-Stars is a pr🤪imarily multiplayer-focused game that launched for PC in 2002, and is based on the multiplayer mode seen in Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness. Pac-Man All-Stars has four Pac-Men competing with each other to finish the selecte🅘d mission before the others do.
Pac-Man All-Stars also has various power-ups, that can help give a player an advantage over the others. Instead of having players be differently colored Pac-Men, Pac-Man All-Stars has five different playable characters from the Pac-Family. Additionally, Pac-Man All-Stars has two exclusively multiplayer modes, that are 🉐unlocked through beating the single-player mode on different difficulty levels.
7 ꦿ Pac-Man Fever
Pac-Man Fever is Pac-Man's first 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario Party-like game and launched for PlayStation 2 and GameCube in 2002. Like Mario Party, players move their characters around a boa🤡rd while participating in different mini-games, with whoever reaches the end first becoming the winner.
Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man are the only playable characters from the Pac-Man series in the game. Other playable characters include super-deformed versions of characters from other Bandai Namco series, such as Heihachi Mishima and Tiger Jackson from Tekken, Astaroth from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Soul Calibur, and Reiko Nagase from Ridge Racer. It's unclear why these characters were chosen over other Pac-Man characters that could've been used.
6 𝕴 Pac-Man Pinball Advance ✱
Pac-Man Pinball Advance is yet another pinball game for the Game Boy Advance and launched in 2005, relatively late in the handheld console's life cycle. Pac-Man Pinball Advance has all the standard elements of a pinball game one would expect, and the ball is Pac-Man himself. There are flippers, and various areas to gain extra points from.
Since this is Pac-Man Pinball, Pac-Man can eat a power pellet. It will cause the ghosts to turn blue and run around the stage, allowing Pac-Man to gain even more points from eating them. Players can also purchase items by accumulating enough Pac-d🌄ots from around the table.
5 Pac-Pix
Pac-Pix launched exclusively for the Nintendo DS in 2005, and utilized the handheld console's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:touchscreen for its gameplay. In Pac-Pix, p𒀰layers have to draw Pac-Man and guide him to eat all the ghosts in each level.
However, Pac-Man has to be drawn in the right direction, as he can only eat ghosts if he's facing them. Players can't just draw Pac-Man as many times as they wish either, and each level limits the number of times Pac-Man can be drawn in addition to having a time limit. A few other objects can be drawn to aid Pac-Man and help get around his limitations.
4 ♈ Pac-🎐Man Adventures
Pac-Man Adventures was planned to be an interactive adventure game, possibly in a similar vein to Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. It would also have featured animation by Don Bluth. Unfortunately, Pac-Man Adventures was scrapped in favor of making a third and final entry in the Pac-Man World series.
Despite this change, Pac-Man World 3 still reuses some elements that might have been featured in Pac-Man Advent🌠ures♋. Once it was finished, Pac-Man World 3 launched for GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo DS in 2005, and was the worst-received game in the trilogy.
3 Pac-M🎃an 🧸World Rally
Pac-Man World Rally is the first 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:kart racing game to feature the character, and launched for PlayStation 2,♔ PlayStatio🐻n Portable, GameCube, and PC in 2006. While World Rally does have all the familiar staples of a kart racing game, it also has typical Pac-Man mechanics.
Characters can eat Pac-pellets to fill up their Pac-meter, and once it's full, they can temporarily become a Pac-mobile and devour the competition. World Rally also has several guest characters from other Bandai Namco series, including the Prince from the Katamari series, Pooka and Fygar from Dig Dug, Mr. Driller from Mr. Driller, and Mappy from the Mappy series.
2 ඣ💃 Pac-Man Tilt
Pac-Man T🐎ilt is a game included alongside the origin🌊al Pac-Man and Pac-Man Championship Edition in Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions, a Nintendo 3DS exclusive collection that launched in 2011.
Somewhat similar to past Nintendo-exclusive titles like Kirby's Tilt n' Tumble and Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, Pac-Man Tilt h🌞as the player guide Pac-Man through each level by tilting the console. This causes him to roll, speed up, slow down, and avoid obstacles depending on which direction the Nintendo 3DS is titled and when. Other than the tilting function, Pac-Man Tilt has all the usual Pac-Man staples, such a༺s ghosts, Pac-dots, power pellets, and fruit.
1 🔜 Pac-Man Monsters
Pac-Man Monsters was a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:puzzle and role-playing game that launched for iOS and Android mobile devices in 2014. In it, players guided Pac-Man to eat different colored panels, and if the eaten panel's color matched the color of a monster on their team, that monster could attack one of the opponent's monsters.
All monsters on a player's team also shared the same health bar, and could be powered up after Pac-Man ate a power pellet. Some monsters could even evolve when exposed to the correct evolution seed. Pac-Man Monsters was shut down only a year after it launched.
