Deteacher Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Jr. Pac-Man must eat all the dots in a maze in order to advance to the next stage. He's chased by killer ghosts but he can eat them while powered up after eating one of six large dots. Bonus points are awarded for eating the fruits and snacks that appear and wander the maze. One of many sequels to Pac-Man, this version's innovative features include side-scrolling mazes, a lack of exits and moving prizes that not only destroy energizers but also create large dots that slow the players' movements considerably.

Lauren Tyler Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 27,980 Isn't it interesting how this game was actually an unauthorized creation by Bally Midway without Namco's permission? In fact, Ms. Pac-Man was done by GCC and Midway originally, and while they were arguing about who got what share of the profits, Namco wasn't very happy about this, so they both gave the game and profits to them. Midway never learned their lesson, though, with games like Pac-Man Plus and Baby Pac-Man. These were the reasons Namco severed their ties to Midway and made Atari their sole distributor of their US games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Scores are updated as of this post. Also, I changed the ROM location in the "Game Information" section. I guess the original link didn't work. I tested the new one and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthkur Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 35,210 The A.I. for the ghost-monsters certainly is a lot higher on this than in other Pac games. Sure seems it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
