Pac-Land is a side-scrolling 1-2 player game with a cartoonish feel to it. Now equipped with arms, face, and legs, Pac must guide a fairy back to her home in Fairy Land, but this task will not be easy because Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue will pursue Pac-Man as he travels through Pac-Land. When he finally transports the fairy back to her home, Pac-Man is given some magic shoes, which will help him get to his own home, where he will be greeted by his family: Ms. Pac-Man , Baby Pac-Man , Chomp Chomp, and Sourpuss.
The game consists of sixteen rounds, with four trips each. During each round, Pac-Man can grab a power pellet, which causes ghosts to turn blue, allowing him to eat them for points. Points are also awarded by collecting fruit that appear, like cherries and strawberries. In some rounds, Pac-Man must use a springboard to jump over a lake. He must also make it to the end of each round before time runs out, otherwise a ghost will chase him.
Pac-Land was released for the Famicom on November 21, 1985. The game is an action-adventure title that challenges players to guide Pac-Man through various obstacles and enemies in order to reach his home and be reunited with his family.
