Pac-Man Museum+ recently launched for a variety of platforms, featuring a collection of 14 different Pac-Man releases that span multiple decades, with a selection of titles culled from both arcade and console entries featuring the power pellet munching mascot that originally made his debut in 1980. This selection of games is a pretty solid representation of classic Pac-Man, with some more eclectic entries making the list like Pac?n Roll Remix, Pac-Man 256, and Pac Moto. Of course this collection doesn?t encompass every Pac-Man title ever released, which isn?t surprising, but it is a more robust collection than the original Pac-Man Museum from 2014.
Here?s the full list of titles available in this collection:
Pac-Man
Super Pac-Man
Pac & Pal
Pac-Land
Pac-Mania
Pac-Attack
Pac-in-Time
Pac-Man Arrangement (1996)
Pac-Man Arrangement (2005)
Pac-Man Championship Edition
Pac Moto
Pac?n Roll Remix
Pac-Man Battle Royale
Pac-Man 256
Bandai Namco does try to spruce up the presentation a bit though, by featuring a virtual arcade in which you can play each game in, and then decorate by earning items for certain in-game achievements or by using coins you earn that can be spent at the gachapon machine. There are various wallpapers for the arcade room, floors, statues, and other decorations that can be unlocked, and if you enjoy room designing it does add some incentive for trying multiple titles and attempting to unlock these items. Personally I didn?t find it to be a huge draw though, and again would have been far more interested in the history behind each game. I also wasn?t a real fan of needing to unlock the majority of the games, which doesn?t require much, but it does essentially force you to play through most titles at least twice in order to unlock another of the 14 games featured here. It?s not super time consuming, sure, but if you really don?t like something, having to play through it just to unlock something you actually want to play is kind of a bummer.
Note: Bandai Namco provided us with a Pac-Man Museum+ code for review purposes.
You’ll also get a peek at the stage set in the futuristic city of Birnin…
If you like the taste that you got, pre-orders for the full title are also…
At least these retro reproductions are properly labeled…
It’s a damn shame that even Lillymo has abandoned the PlayStation Vita as a platform.
Sometimes it’s nice to hold things in your hands.
VF5 is getting dangerously close to having the same number of iterations as Street Fighter…
