Year of Release: 1987
Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Not much to say on this one - Namco's 1987 update to the original Pac-Man is essentially the same game, only brought up to date with better graphics. The art-style uses a cool pseudo 3D viewpoint, but the gameplay remains largely unchanged from the pill-munching original.
Graphics aside, the one change Pac-Mania does make is giving Pac-Man the ability to jump. Bouncing over approaching ghosts becomes an important skill, particularly in later levels where the spooks become faster and more aggressive.
This one's easy to sum up: if you like Pac-Man, there's a very good chance you'll have a good time with Pac-Mania.

    *Pac-Mania* Characters: Pac-Man, the friendly yellow circular creature who is a dot-munching star. Ghosts: Blinky, the red ghost represents as the leader of the ghosts. He's typically aggressive when he speeds up. Pinky, the smitten stalker. She's ahead of you! Inky, Blinky's highly unpredictable sidekick. He's shatter-brained and can also sometimes chase Pacman aggressively like Blinky. Clyde, the slow a minded one. He mostly distracts himself! Sue, the purple ghost who follows Pacman just like Blinky. Beware of this playful ghost! Funky, the atlethic bouncing ghost. Small, energic and deadly. Spunky, Funkys cousin. It's really impossible to jump her!

    This game is absolutely amazing I first witnessed this game on namco museum megamix for the Nintendo Wii And then from that moment on this instantly became one of my favorite Pac-Man sequels I also love how you can jump over the ghosts but later on in the game itself they introduce ghosts that can also jump so in a way that sort of defeats the purpose of giving Pac-Man the ability to jump over the ghosts regardless of that though this game is still absolutely a blast to play My favorite stages in this game are Pac-Mans Park because of that amazing pice of music that would later be used in ghostly adventures and block town i love the music used in that level as well its so charming to listen to and I absolutely love it overall this game is very fun and I recommend any Pac-Man fan to try it out its definitely a fun and very colorful game I also love that as you get closer to clearing a level Blinkys facial expression goes from normal to angry and yet none of the other ghosts go through this sudden change in facial expressions it appears that only Blinky does but nevertheless it is quite interesting to notice such a detail like that

I know there are these things in the center of the maze,but would be more fun like that. Also giving the space to the players comunity to make their own mazes. Would be great!

    Pac-Mania is kind of emblematic of the "graphics over gameplay" approach that crept into gaming in the late 80's. It represents the daydream of "what if Pac-Man were in THREE DIMENSIONS? Wouldn't that be soooo cool?" And at the time, yes! Because the graphics were still rapidly evolving, asking that kind of question was cool, and it still is, just going by the comments here. (There were definitely a few freeware games that took the same question and answered it in terms of a first-person maze game, as well) But it's also clunky to have the camera in so close when matched with the classic maze gameplay, and the extra ghosts and jumping kind of indicate that the design was hacked out after the graphics to try to make it work by heaping more stuff on. Today it'd be easy to take a different compromise by using a zooming camera, which wasn't really an option then.
