Title: Let's Compare Pac-Attack
Post by: TrekMD on October 15, 2014, 01:18:29 AM
Pac-Attack (sometimes known in Europe as Pac-Panic) is a puzzle game in the vein of Columns and Dr. Mario. It was adapted from Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, an arcade game released in the previous year.  Released by Namco, it features Pac-Man as the main playing pieces, with the Ghosts and blocks as obstacles.  The game was initially published in 1993 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Super NES. Game Gear and Game Boy versions followed in 1994. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color releases also feature a Super Game Boy enhanced color palette. There was never an arcade version of Pac-Attack.

I had never played this before I bought the Pac-Man collection on the PS3 recently. Turns out It's a fun little puzzle game. Graphics really don't matter in a game like this so all theses versions look good.

Never played it either. I agree with Shadowrunner and Zapiy. Not matter what system it looks like a fun game to play.
