| | Arcade Games: Mastering Pac-Man Plus and Super Pac-Man |
 | | Unlike Pac-Man Plus, Super Pac-Man is a totally new game, with a different concept which has a significant effect on the good player's strategy. | | | The Figure 5 pattern applies to the initial fast game boards and later slow game boards; the earlier boards of the slow game are completed rather easily through improvisational play. | | | After several boards are completed, the player is awarded a bonus stage (similar to the challenge stages of Galaga) in which he cannot lose his man. If the player is able to clear the entire board during the bonus stage, he is awarded a large point bonanza. |

| | Pac Man was not only one of the biggest video games of all time but Atari was way more serious this time in their arcade creation and they address many of complaints of the disappointing Atari Pac Man and thankfully we get a way better game because of it. | | | Pac Man complete with the box and instructions but lets face it, the game is so easy to play that you don't need to read a 8 page booklet to understand what's going on here. | | | Pac Man can also earn some points by eating those many pellets and the new 7 bouncing fruits that move around the board instead of staying on the center of the screen every so often. |

| | Game Matters: The genius of Pac Man |
| | Plus, with each of the four ghosts eaten, the points double for the next ghost the player eats – but the trade-off is that going for the next harmless ghost puts the closer to the danger of that ghost turning back to the normal kind, and killing Pac Man. | | | The years passed and other arcade games faded away, yet I still found Pac Man in arcades and restaurants, and never being a fighting games fan (the only other games that seem to be around nowadays), I found myself playing more and more of Pac Man and eventually appreciating the game's genius. | | | Every aspect of Pac Man has gameplay repercussions and provides the player with decisions that involve trade-offs. |

| | Pac-Man Collection - video game review |
| | Even though the game is a glorified novelty (there's no real variety in blocks, and thus no deep strategy), Pac-Attack was a fun game when it appeared on the 16-bit consoles, and is still good for short bursts. | | | The premise of dropping blocks littered with ghosts is clever, and the real joy comes from setting Pac loose on a long string of blue ghosts, causing chain reactions to the blocks. | | | If I could just play that board over and over, I'd never ask for another thing again. |

| | All of these games are loads of fun to play, some more so than others -- Pac Attack is probably considered the loser of the bunch, but even this one has some merits in the compilation pack. | | | The old guy's still got it -- this Game Boy Advance pack of Pacs is a wonderful gaming treat. | | | You'll also find varying maze designs that go uphill and downhill, feature teleport locations, as well as Dash points that will zip Pac-Man in the direction of the arrows, knocking ghosts temporarily dizzy if they get in his way. |

| | In Pac-Man Plus, however, once you ate a power pellet, there was a chance that some of the ghosts would not turn blue, therefore not making them ''eatable'' and they could still attack you. | | | Pac-Man Plus was another great Pac-Man game, but nowhere near as good as the original. | | | The bonus fruit also had the ability to make the maze invisible for a short period of time. |
