How to Play the Game
The purpose of the game is to have Pac-Man chomp all the Pac-Dots from each maze while avoiding the attacks of the four ghosts. When all the Pac-Dots are eaten up you can proceed to the next round. Defeat the Final Boss and you win the game. Rules
β’
If you touch a ghost, Pac-Man will lose one life. β’
The game is over when all lives are lost.
β’
An extra life is awarded by scoring 40,000 points. (This value is set in the initial setting and it can be changed with the Bonus Option.)
Power Pellets
Chomp down on a power pellet and Pac-Man will have the power to eat ghosts. When a power pellet is eaten, the ghosts change to a dark blue color for a short time. The ghosts start flashing before they turn back to their normal color, so watch out! After a ghost has been eaten, its eyes return to the Ghost Home and the ghost is regenerated. The more ghosts Pac-Man eats in succession, the more points they are worth. Fruit
Fruit appears twice in each maze. Munch these for bonus points. The more mazes you complete, the more the fruit is worth.
Warp Tunnels
Go through these tunnels and you'll shoot out on the other side of the maze. Use them to slow down a ghost that's hot on your tail.
Pac-Dash Arrows
Gobble up one of these arrows and Pac-Man gets a huge burst of speed in the direction indicated. Warp Gate
Go through a gate and Pac-Man is shot to the opposite gate of the same color. These gates can also be used for quick getaways. Large Ghosts
The large ghosts were given special abilities to catch Pac-Man, so watch out! Some large ghosts can rush like a bull, jump across the maze like a rabbit or even be in two places at the same time. Power Ups
These items can be used to help Pac-Man advance to the next maze. β’

β’
Magic Wand: Turns all the ghosts into presents.
β’
Pink Power Up: Traps ghosts in a brown sack.
β’

How to Play the Game (Pac-Attack)
Blocks fall from the top of the play screen. Twist and turn the blocks to line them up from left to right. When you fill up a line of blocks, they vanish. Oh, but nasty ghosts keep popping up to wreck the lines! You have to line them up too. Then your old friend Pac-Man pops in for some ghostly gobbling. Put him in the right place and he'll chomp ghosts 'til there aren't any more or he hits a block. Normal Mode
This mode features you, Pac-Man and an occasional Fairy against the ghosts and an endless flock of falling blocks. Choose between Easy, Normal, Hard and Hyper difficulty levels. β’
Sneak Preview: This box lets you look ahead to see the upcoming cluster containing blocks, ghosts, Fairies and Pac-Man. β’
Fairy Meter: Each time Pac-Man chomps a ghost a bit of gold dust goes into the Fairy Meter. When it's filled, a Fairy appears in the Sneak Preview box (this doesn't occur on the Easy level). When the Fairy appears, press the + Control Pad to move the Fairy. When she stops, she throws a spell that knocks off all the ghosts below it! Display Information
