Pac-Man is a maze game that was first released in the Arcade in 1980.
+ Different coloured ghosts have unique behaviours, which is great for learning patterns and outsmarting them.
+ Tunnels are an inspired feature for a quick escape and the limited energy pills turn the tide for a riveting ghost chase.
+ Collectable fruit adds an enticing risk-reward element, as the huge point bonuses mean venturing into perilous territory.
- Despite the maze being intricately designed it's the only one available, leaving you wishing for a bit more variety.
- Difficulty curve is amiss, as the speed starts off rather pedestrian before suddenly nitro charging in the fourth maze.
- Unlike the Atari 5200 port (1983) which had eight difficulty settings, this version has no skill customisation options.
