Game Info: 2d platformer starring Pacman

Pacman was the first big character in video gaming, and Namco have used him over the years in many different types of games (Puzzle, adventure, platform etc), so it isn't surprising to see him star in an SFC platform romp.
Unfortunately the game is very simple, with tiny 2d platform levels where you have to complete various tasks before you can move onto the next.
The graphics are small but well drawn and the sounds are updated samples from the original Pacman coin-op.
Playing as Pacman is a lot of fun, if only for the nostalgic viewpoint, but if you are hoping for a good platform challenge then this isn't the game to play.
It can be a fun trip down memory lane if you were a fan of the old Pac series games, but for most people this is a dull, easy and limited platform adventure!
