I love the original and I read a lot of complaints about the controls on the game. I found them to be true occasionally. But after around an hour of playing, I got used to it and I am having a lot of fun with the game. I prefer to play the full screen, but the scorlling mode isn't that bad. The only real problem (if its a problem) with the game is that the ghosts have a tendency to gang up and trap you. The game is alot of fun and definatly worth picking up

A nice little pocket version of Pac-Man

This is a great pocket version of Pac-Man. The Neo Geo Pocket control stick is difficult at first to get to respond as quickly as it should on sharp turns, but once you get used to it, it gets much easier. If you get the full boxed version you get a little plastic 4-way adapter that you snap onto the control stick to limit movement to up-down-left-right (no diagonals), and that makes the control just about perfect. I didn't think it would do much, but it made a noticeable inprovement in the control. A couple of extra 4-way adapters are also included in case of loss. Other than that, there's not much to say. It's Pac-Man.

Good for Inky, Blinky and Pinky................

This game lives up to its predecessor in more ways than one. Though it looks exactly like the original, it also maneuvers like the original and the only ones who win at this game are Inky, Blinky and Pinky. My 3 year old son loves this game, however, because PacMan keeps getting eaten.

I don't care if the Game Boy Version of PAC-MAN came with PAC-Attack as a bonus game. The NEO*GEO version of the classic sticks true to the original in terms of graphics (Even if Scrolling Is Enabled). Only a handheld system more advanced than the Game Boy like The NEO*GEO Pocket Color could fit the bill for PAC-MAN. If The Game Boy Advanced can deliver a good version I'll try it. But for now, only the NGPC has it Pixel Perfect.

This is a perfect remake of the arcade game, a must buy

one good thing is that even with standard shipping..i got this in 2 days...almost as good as the original arcade..the joystick on the neogeo is a little hard.. but the bottom line is..after practice..this game is awesome, and it is SO worth the money

Pixel-Perfect Translation!

That's right, pixel-perfect in scroll-mode. The resolution isn't high enough to display the graphics in full-screen mode. All the sounds and speed stay true to the arcade. It's not that hard to control Pac with the joystick because of the included 4-way controller you insert over the joystick. With this you'll have no problems turning those sharp corners. Unfortunately, all you'll get is Pac-Man though. No options or extras. For gameplay I'd go with this version. But if you want the extras like Pac-attack, you might want to check out the Gameboy color version.

Poorly implemented with platform controls

Pac-Man was the first NEOGEO game I tried, but I'm ready to send it back (other games are great). The controls don't respond quickly enough in turns to allow a gamer to compete against the computer, even at the lowest beginner level. Initially, I thought it might be my own unfamiliarity with video games, but my teenage son (with thousands of hours of Nintendo and GameBoy experience) got the same result. He gave up in under 20 minutes. Pac-Man was always one of our favorite games, but it is poorly implemented on NEOGEO's platform.

It's loads of fun!

As a kid I remember playing Pac Man at the arcade. I never had enough money to get very good at it, but I did like the game a lot. Now, with my NGPC, I can play to my hearts content. I seem to have become addicted to this classic arcade game and I realize why so many people hold this game dear to their hearts. Great fun and well worth the price.

It is but Pac-Man

Pac-Man: The story of a yellow circle that has a singular goal in life-to eat endless amounts of dots. He is chased by 4 ghosts who undenyably never give up their relentless chase of our hero. He can stop them by eating power pills, but he has but only four. If you enjoy this epic adventure, then this game is for you. It has the original graphics and sound. It is very challenging, as it always was--now because it has 2 different views to chose from. You can either be able to see one corner of the maze at a time, or the whole thing, which is better than the Game Boy version. I suppose the problem with this game is that it is simply Pac-Man and nothing more. There are no new modes, no new levels, and no new graphics. Pac-Man was a great game, and the legend lives on with this title. Buy it if you like Pac-Man, otherwise move along.
