Pac-Man is Yello, he moves around a maze and tries not to get eaten by the ghosts. He eats yello pills to gain points and end the game. The Red pills make him powerful so he can eat the ghosts.

Pac-Man is a classic Arcade game which was made in the mid 1970's. It was very popular when it first came out.. However, it's not known very much now.

For perhaps hours of fun, (if you're interested Classic Arcade) Pac-Man would be a great game to get!

Truly the best Pac Man game yet for your PC.

As a kid of the 80s, I lived and breathed Pac-Man. I couldn't get enough of the pellet chomping and ghost devouring. This 21st century version of Pac-Man is a spectacular adaptation of a game that never goes out of style.

For starters, the graphics are outstanding. The game's open is one of the few game opens I truly enjoy watching. While one of the basic objectives of the game is to avoid the ghosts, there are also other distractions to avoid like alligators, boulders, and snakes, all of which make the game that much more challenging. The mazes are superbly designed. The first maze caught my eye since the layout is the same as the first maze on the original Pac-Man. The bonus rounds, like a river run and a variation of Concentration, are a change of pace but they do not take away from the overall enjoyment of the game. In short, Pac-Man: Adventures in Time is a definite must get game.

Try before you buy

We bought Pac Man for our Gateway computer and found that it wouldn't run unless we rendered the graphics through the software mode which ended up making the game useless -- the graphics are so poor in software mode that you can't see what you're doing. We had all the requisite equipment, and the software's help file even said that it supported our graphics card, but in the end it wouldn't run from the graphics card and the technical support people at hasbro couldn't tell me why. We even tried it on another computer and while we didn't have the same problem, we had another one and were unable to run it there either.

The levels that are hard are very, very hard. It takes a lot of time to beat them, unless you still have a lot of Pacman's life left. But if you do beat some of the hard levels, you will lose a lot of Pacman's life, so for the other hard levels, you won't have a lot of Pacman's life. It's fun if you're relaxed while you play. But if you're not, it can be very frustrating.

Not worth the bother. The response time is either non-existent or worse when trying to use a joystick.

Pac-Man Adventures in Time is a great game. The graphics make you feel like you are in Pac-Man's world. Some of the levels are very easy, some are very hard. Sometimes I stop myself because I'm about to zoom through a whole era(5 mazes). Also, maybe they could make a maze editor or something like that. Buy this game, it's worth the money, but don't play it with a 300mhz or below computer

Good adaptation, but some glitches in play

This is a somewhat uneven adaptation of pac-man. In general, it has great graphics, good mazes, etc. It keeps the Pac-man playing style while adding nifty modern touches.

The problem comes in the playability. I often found that I was fighting the game: slow responses at critical times, getting into situations where I couldn't see important things due to the field-of-view, etc.

Hopefully they'll come out with a Pac-Man 2 that can clean up these glitches. If they do, it will be a fine game.

An Excellent Version of the Arcade Classic

When I got this game as a gift from a grandparent, I was uncertain about it. I am age 13, and I was into all the new games, my favorites being 1st person shooters. So, I was unsure, and I thought that it was a little kiddy game. 5 minutes into the game I realized how wrong I was. The mazes are amazing in 3D. The graphics are exceptional, and the gameplay is downright addicting. After what seemed like half an hour, it was already 1 A.M. The game is so much more than just chomping ghosts, there are snakes, boulders, alligators, etc. There are also tons of thrilling mini-games that kept me excited for hours. While some mazes were frustrating, others were rather easy. This game is worth the [price]any day. I have not encountered any glitches yet, on my Compaq Pentium 2. My only complaint is that you may encounter lack of eating, obsessiveness with the game and sore fingers because of overplaying.
