![]() ![]() Super Pac-Man is not a bad game, but it does suffer from having "added ingredients" (keys, locked doors, super pills) that make the game appear like a gimmicky upgrade from the original. It came out at the right time, 1982 was big for arcades very unfortunate but now with computers and phones everyone can play it now no excuse! Edited Septemby ColecoKing Who else feels this game is underrated? It's a shame it wasn't more popular, I never expected it to be bigger than the original Pacman or Ms Pacman but it really didn't make any splash at all. I like the fast paced gameplay, the need to think on your feet and use strategy in order to defeat the more difficult stages.įor those who have not heard or played Super Pacman here is a short video on YouTube showing some gameplay I feel that this thinking mans Pacman is the best Pacman game of all time with the Pacman Arrangement GBA game with the boss battles being only a little bit behind, mostly because some of the stage design decisions in that game were not very good. I usually save the Super Pellets until I am in a difficult situation as it's a perfect way to turn the tables back in your favor. The original Power Pellets are still here, but these new Super Pellets increase Pacmans size to become a giant which allows Pacman not only to run over and squash ghosts though they don't die, but you can crash through doors without keys! Of course like Power Pellet their is a time limit for their use. Keys are used to open doors to get the collectibles in each stage, no longer are you just slowly munching a bunch of dots, you are now having to plan your route carefully accounting for your speed, what keys open which doors, and avoid trapping yourself in a corner to get eat by the ghost. ![]() The first big change is Pacman moves faster and so do the ghosts, this welcome change makes it so you have to plan ahead and think on your feet more. Super Pacman replaces the repetitive predictable nature of the original Pacman and adds more to the gameplay. As an Intv commercial would say - this is a thinking mans game! Being a game that makes you think is why I think the game was and still is grossly underrated and is in my opinion better than the original Pacman though that's not a popular statement. However, Super Pacman is often ridiculed because it isn't as casual friendly or mindless as the original. Super Pacman is the official sequel to the Pacman we all know and liked. ![]()
