Description

Pac-Land is an entry in the Pac-Man series of arcade video games, released into arcades by Namco, and its American distributor Midway Games, in 1984. The game was based primarily around the "Pac-Man" television series produced by Hanna-Barbera. Its primary objective is to race through various landscapes (a town, a forest, etc.), avoiding Pac-Man's familiar adversaries, the ghost-like monsters, to rescue a fairy princess from capture.

A side-scrolling platform game, Pac-Land is considered one of the first of its kind, released several years before Super Mario Bros. set the standards for the genre. However, with its awkward controls, overly-simplified graphics, and shrill, beepy soundtrack, it is generally considered awful and unplayable. Despite its lack of popularity, Pac-Land was released to several home consoles and computers, including the Commodore 64, the Amiga, the Atari ST, and even Japan's Nintendo Family Computer.
