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.

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

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.

The lil' yellow guy is back!

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

the hard levels

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.

Hmmm....

This was a good game except the game is too short and too easy. Anybody can beat this game except if they are inexperienced Pac-Man players that really do not have much gaming talent. I'll tell you one thing, if you want a challenge, get a different game.

GREAT!

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!

Another masterpiece from Hasbro Interactive

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.

Chomp, Chomp, Chomp Your Way to Hours of Fun

Remember those days way back when, when you were a teen and spent all of those hours in the arcade? This game will allow you to revisit those years in no time and take your kids with you.

From various difficulty levels, to truly superb scenery this game is definitely a bargain that will bring hours of enjoyment for anyone .

Truly the best Pac Man game yet for your PC.

Pac-Man Adventures in Time is great!

I really loved playing this game. It's your basic Pac-Man run around and collect little pellets and dodge all the gosts, except some really cool scenery and quite a few new twists, including rolling boulders, killer snakes, mine carts, seesaws, and multi-level and sideways mazes. And more. Oh yeah, and don't forget Pac-Man is traveling through time. From cavemen ghosts to high-tech scientist ghosts from the future, Pac-Man has a lot to deal with. Adventures in Time includes room for six players to save (each player can have three saved games), multi player games, cool short videos showing the super-cute Pac-Man, sub-levels which let you earn extra points, and over 45 3D caveman, acient egyptian, medieval, wild west, and future mazes. I don't mean to sound like an add, but this is a really cool game. Oh yeah, and if you buy it, here's a tip: don't use your lives unless you absolutely can't get past a level without. :)
