| | Curmudgeon Gamer - First Impressions: Pac-Man Collection |
| | For the whole package, I'm impressed with the addition of a Tips section for each game that provides some information on becoming a better player. | | | The squares can contain one of three things (so far): a brick, a ghost, or a Pac. | | | Sure, it's limited, and they really could have done much more along this angle, but I was interested in some of the things they had to say about Pac-Mania about jumping ghosts and how Pac's jumping ability slowly diminishes if he stays on a level too long. |

| | The exception being those die hard gamers who say that there are to be no forms of ''cheating'' or ''ease.'' This is by far to help those more ill-fated when it comes to gaming and hence the doubts about this game. | | | The level settings are realistic and instead of a usual flat plain seen in most Pac Man games with Pac being moved up and down, left and right... | | | Of course, Pac Man can jump during the whole game which is cool little feature for most. |

| | This game plays similar to Pac Attack, except for the fact that you have a limited number of Pac Men. | | | Sometimes, you will go so fast that if you are being chased by a ghost, you might make a wrong turn even though you think you didn't tell Pac-Man to go there, thus being eaten by a ghost. | | | To clear a stage, you will have to chomp all of the ghosts on the screen with the number of Pac Men you have. |

| | The only real game play innovation brought about by this vaguely 3-D perspective is Pac's new ability to jump over monsters, though even this escape method has some bizarre physics: if Pac takes to the air as he's going around a corner, he will still go around the corner, only airborne. | | | Pac-Mania was the final Pac-Man arcade game released in the 1980s, and it was really as far as the basic Pac-Man structure could be stretched before evolving into a platform/quest game such as Namco's |

| | Pac-Man, none of the later games contributed anything to the culture or the industry, apart from proving that it was indeed possible for a video game to jump the shark. | | | Unfortunately, the company also threw its weight behind such forgettable titles as the no-dots/all-fruit Super Pac-Man, the video-pinball bastard child Baby Pac-Man, the trivia-based Professor Pac-Man, and the heretical Pac and Pal, in which Pac-Man is assisted by a green ghost whom he has initiated into the discipline of dot-munching. |

| | In the 80's, there were a lot of manias going around. | | | Perfect in execution and replication, the original game is also teamed up with Pac-Attack, Pac-Man Arrangement and Pac-Mania (it was fun to change "man" into "mania" in the 80's). | | | First we have the original game, which has every sound effect and graphic perfectly recreated for the small screen. |

| | But never fear, for every third piece has a Pac-Man in it to eat the ghosts (who go from red to blue whenever Pac's on the screen). | | | The game goes way too fast way too early, though (even on easy!), and the playing field is almost half the size of Tetris' playing field, meaning it's not as fun as it should be, and not nearly as fun as Tetris. |

| | Pac-Mania (Second Review) |
| | Personally, I`d have preferred a few more of these pick-ups, of different types, to enhance the gameplay, and further, the game really should have had an alternate two player option similar to the original. | | | It`s nice to look at and listen to, it`s fun to play, and there`s always the chance it will seduce females. | | | These slight criticisms aside though, Pac- Mania is an excellent attempt at souping-up an old classic. |
