Developed by TecMagik Inc. for a release by Tengen in European territories circa 1991, Pac-Mania graced the SEGA Master System with faux-3D 8-Bit visuals and a soundtrack that was definitely not supposed to play so fast on PAL televisions.
Transitions from level to level are somewhat primitive here, and the ghosts move much more randomly about the maze. Approaching one is often risky, however, as Pac-Man's jump isn't as versatile as in the arcade game, and the hit detection is not in the player's favor. While there is not a singular Sue that follows Pac-Man with determination, the purple ghosts in this version have a habit of suddenly turning around should you try and jump over one.
