Review for Pac-Attack on Super Nintendo, Wii U, and Wii. Pac-Man's most puzzling spin-off. Pac-Man sure has seen plenty of genres over the years.
GamesAsylum looks back at 1993's Pac-Attack. Namco’s iconic yellow fellow has starred in countless games over the years, so it’s no surprise that some have fallen into obscurity. Arguably, none of these are more deserving of a lookback than 1993’s Pac-Attack, a neat little puzzler with more than a whiff of Tetris about it.
Wanton nostalgia can play funny tricks on your brain – especially when it comes to video games. Take Pac-Attack, for example. It comes with a whole heap of warm, fuzzy signifiers – it’s a re-release from the fondly remembered 16 bit-era, made by one of the most respected Japanese developers around and starring the most iconic figure in gaming. It must be brilliant, right? Not really.
This game was fun on SNES. I thought the intro music was real funky too
