Pac-Man (Game Boy)

Pac-Man is one of two games (see my Army Men review) that I got for Christmas 2000 with my new Game Boy Color. I think it was selected merely because the person who bought the gift saw a title that they recognized. I thought..."hey cool, I remember Pac-Man from when I was a kid". The novelty soon wore off though and Pac-Man left me with a boring yet portable 20 year old concept. Namco doesn't try to deceive you, the box says "The original arcade classic now in color". They aren't lying, the game looks EXACTLY like the console version that I could barely reach so long ago! Even the sounds are..

I first played Pac-Man on Atari, way back when. I found that it was available for game boy, so I bought it. I had a coupon for a store online, so I paid about $5 for it. In my opinion, it wasn't worth the $5 I paid for it. Pac-Man is an arcade game in which your pac-man works his way through a maze and eats little dots on the screen while trying to dodge the ghosts. If you eat a power pellet (4 total - one in each corner), the ghosts turn color and you can eat them and earn extra points. The point of the game is to eat all the dots before the ghosts get you and advance to the next level. I...

The Ms. Pacman and Super Pacman games are certain to be a blast from the past if you are in your mid-thirties. We got this for our 7 year old son's gameboy (games were scarce) for Christmas. The seven year old liked it but it doesn't hold his attention as well as it does his 36 year old mother's. Nearly 20 year's ago I was a Ms. Pacman addict. A lot of quarters went by the way of that arcade game. This gameboy game has me reliving the past and once again obsessed with beating the high score. The downfall is that it is a lot harder to control the direction your pacman goes on the gameboy. Also.

I am 27 years old and I do remember Ms Pac Man. Boy did I get into that game back when I was little. It was so much fun. It is so cool that they brought this game back into the Gameboy version. I know personally that my two kids even though one is too young to really play argue over who gets to play with it first. The graphics are good and so is the challenge for the kids. I love to play it myself. The only bad thing is that it is not as big as the arcade version I was once used to playing. Still it is a great game to get the kids. Whether you are a girl or a boy, adult or child, you will...
