Pac-Land

Pac-man should have not have tarnished his name with this title. Simple concept that you dodge ghosts, unless you pick up a power pellet (the only power-up I found) and grab fruit for points. The D-pad makes you jump, and I and II buttons move you left or right, making for rather odd controls although not difficult. Backgrounds are simple and plain. It's not unplayable, and I'm sure you can get some enjoyment out of it, but not much.

There's some charm here- particularly with the haunted mansion levels- and the fact that it's pac-man- and the intemission scenes are cute- but let's face it- overall a poor game. It is though a great conversion of a classic- for supposedly it's the first arcade sidescrolling platformer...
