The little yellow guy with a big appetite for dots is making a name for himself on the NEOGEO. This faithful pocket-sized reproduction of the early-'80s arcade classic offers instant gratification for those who want to gobble up some spare time. Unfortunately, the joystick on this portable unit doesn't respond extremely well on sharp turns, which can be the kiss of death when you're being chased by those pesky ghosts Pinky, Inky, Blinky, or Clyde.

Play takes place in full-screen or scroll modes. Scroll mode poses more of a challenge as you can see only one corner of the board at all times, which can make it hard to avoid ghosts. It may not be as advanced as many other titles for the NEOGEO, but nothing beats the addictive arcade action of Pac-Man. If you are looking for a game to just pick up and play, snatch up this title. It's still as much fun as when you first played it at the arcade all those years ago. --Carrie Bell

Customer Reviews of Pac-Man

Its a classic, but......
Pac Man in undoubtedly the most successful and one of the most influential video games ever, but today, the original game alone does not dignify the price. Lord only knows why the puzzle game Pac Attack was included in the GB version but not in this version-if they were going to package a Pac game by itself it should have been Ms.Pac Man, because at least in that game the stages change for a minimal amount of variety. Still, beneath the simple veneer lies an incredibly addictive and exciting game, and hardcore Pac Man fans never get tired of Pac Man's one and only board. If you are a Neo Geo pocket owner and a Pac fan and you dont own a GB, buy this. otherwise, check out the GBC "Special editions" of Pac Man and Ms.Pac Man which give more bang for your buck.

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.
