#ORIGINAL PAC MAN PS4#
New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (8th August to 14th August)
Other curios include Pac-Motos – a rudimentary battle game inspired by Namco’s 1985 arcade game Motos which first released as part of a Nintendo Wii compilation – and the Marble Madness-style Nintendo DS puzzle platformer Pac N Roll. The isometric Pac-Mania from 1987 is an obvious inclusion, but the borderline unplayable Pac-In-Time less so: it’s fiddly and heavily flawed, but noteworthy nonetheless. Of interest to PlayStation players, Pac-Man Arrangement ships in two permutations: the 1996 arcade original and as a rearrangement from Namco Museum Battle Collection, which first launched on the PSP in 2005. 1984’s endless runner-esque Pac-Land is present and accounted for – and looking surprisingly pretty scaled up on a 4K screen, we must say – while there’s even a slot for 1992’s Tetris-inspired SNES puzzler, Pac-Attack. That includes the iconic 1980 arcade original – of course! – as well as its Super Pac-Man and Pac & Pal permutations, which have mixed success fiddling with the rules of the established maze formula. There are absentees, of course – long-time power pill poppers may lament the lack of, say, Pac-Man World from the PS1 – but across 14 titles, you’re effectively getting the career highlights (and lowlights) of Bandai Namco’s yellow blob. Pac-Man legal issues – awkward! – and it’s hard to imagine Pac-Man Museum+ being much more comprehensive than it is.
