Jr. Pac-Man description

The third game of PAC-man, this time dedicated to the "young" Manny Pacquiao – that is a childhood hero, or his descendant (but it is unlikely anyone is interested). The gameplay remains about the same as it was before, but some changes are still there.

The General gist is the same: the gingerbread man must run mazes, eating dots, collecting power-UPS and trying in any case not to run into ghosts who are hunting him. But the maze level no longer takes up one screen as it was before, now he is bigger (and the camera shows previously unseen part when the hero moves there).

There are bonuses (rare), which can be eaten for extra points: tricycles, kites, drums, balloons, toy trains and so on; at different levels, various bonuses. If the bonus upon your appearance for points, each such point brings not ten, but fifty points, and they increase in size, but some of them can slow down the PAC-man, which is highly undesirable.

Of course, did not disappear and "power balls": when they are eating all the ghosts on time turns blue and can be eaten (and eaten will especially give a lot of points). Not to mention that, overall, the mazes were much harder than earlier and the ghosts now run away much more difficult. The game also has some semblance of a plot about love of the young monster PAC-man and yum-yum, but to address that issue we will not due to concerns about the mental health of readers.

Graphically, the game looks slightly better than the previous parts, and it's great because in other games of PAC-man himself simply not present. The verdict is still Golden classics of the genre, albeit not the same as the first part.
