Pac Man proved something to me with this collection, which was that the developers could take the same concept and make it interesting with four different versions of Pac Man. First there is the original hit game, Pac Man, where you are a little man with a huge mouth going through a maze, gobbling up pellets, being chased by ghosts in a never-ending quest. The next game is "Pac Man Arrangement," which is essentially the same game, only with fun new features, such as a dash and the graphics are a bit better. When Pac Man runs over a dash, he will zip from one side of the maze to the other, past all ghosts that chase him. The third game is Pac Attack, which is a clone of Tetris, falling blocks, some with ghosts in them, and eventually a falling Pac Man to eat the ghosts! You score points by stacking a line of bars or by having a Pac Man eat the ghosts. The fourth game is a great Pac Man game for the present day called Pac Mania! It features crisp graphics, a 3D maze, 3D Pac Man and 3D ghosts, each with their own personalities! The point of it is to still eat all of the pellets in the maze, but now there are more ghosts and you cannot see the entire maze in just one screen. The mazes even have different themes to them, such as one maze will be made of Legos, another will be on the top of a roof! One more thing, now Pac Man can jump over the ghosts! It's a very nice addition to the Pac Family. The only unfortunate part to all of these games is that it does not save your high scores when you turn the game off! There is some nice variety to this game pack, but its not for everyone.

hello...i have been playing this one for a while since it came out (80 ok?)...it really is probably one that has some also parts for adult men and also children. the best part is when you beat the levels for music. but the best part is how also the part where jim carrey comes in to find the other pac (men) inside of it. with luck and the big pieces you can "EAT" the "GHOSTS". so without having to spoil the ending i will say that this is by far the best game to come out on Game Boy Advance for the Nintendos because of it's overall gaming plays and the extras for the parts that it does have. i am sure that even though you will also have the best times with it and "WATCH OUT FOR THOSE PARTS!" :)

Pac-man collection is the first game i bought for GBA and when I started to play it I didn't put it down until the batteries went out. It gives you the choice of four different games to play- pac-man mania, pac-man arrangment,pacman(the old virsion), and pac-attack(tetris). (...) There is music in pac-man arrangment and the graphics are wonderful(mainly pac-man mania). If you are looking for a fun, addicting game to play this is the one to get.
 you can never have too much pacman December 31, 2002

I really love the Pacman game for GBA than the one I had for my CGB.This Pacman comes with four different games that are equally fun and intriguing to play. One of my favorite games is "Pacman Arrangement," which has a variety of cool mazes and music to go along with it. It also happens to be the only game I can beat! "Pac Attack," my other favorite games,is very similiar to Tetris. The hardest game for me to conquer is the hip, colorful 3D "Pac Mania." The mazes in this game change different themes every two levels and gradually become larger. The cool thing is that PacMan can *jump* over the ghosts- but they can jump too! No matter how many times I try, I can never get past the board with the orange roof, and when I quit my thumb is quite sore...Last, but definetly not least, is the original "PacMan." That's always fun and challenging.
Not much of a real collection June 22, 2005

Well, I have to say, I was really excited when the Pac-Man Collection came out. I thought about how much fun it would be to play every game in the series. What I got was something a little different.
First off there is good ol' regular Pac-Man. You eat dots to advance in the levels. Ghosts try to stop you. Try to avoid them. There are 4 power pellets throughout the maze. Eat them, and the ghosts will turn blue and run away from you. Now you can eat them for some nice bonus points. Also, an occasional fruit will appear under the ghost home. Munch on them for some bonus points. I have two gripes about this game though. They are somewhat related. The first one is that the mazes are exacty the same. No matter how many mazes you clear, it's still the same. The second is that the ghost movements aren't random. Blinky and Pinky just go to the top of the screen. If you wanted, you could just do a routine for the all levels for some very easy points.
Pac-Man Arrangement is a good game. The graphics and music have greatly improved. You basicaly go through 22 levels. This plays the same as Pac-Man, except there is a final boss and all. Again, two gripes: the first is that infinite contiues make the game too easy. At least your score resets; and this game is WAY too fast. Sometimes, you will go so fast that if you are being chased by a ghost, you might make a wrong turn even though you think you didn't tell Pac-Man to go there, thus being eaten by a ghost.
Pac Mania
This game is basicaly Pac Man, only with 12 levels and a scrolling playing field. He can also jump! This could increase the easiness, but as a matter a fact, it doesn't! Like I said, you play on a scrolling playing field. That's what increases the difficulty. The environment is also very 3D. There should have been more than 12 mazes, though. That's the only thing wrong. Fortunately, they are challenging.
Pac Attack
Sot of like Tetris, but with the added ghosts. There are 3 modes to play in: Mulitplayer, Regular, and Puzzle. In Regular you have to stack up blocks to make lines. There are also ghosts to "wreck the lines" as the book explains. You have to get the ghosts in one area, and then Pac Man may come in one of the block clusters. He will eat the all ghosts that he can. This game is enjoyable.
Puzzle mode has you in 100 stages of Pac Attack. This game plays similar to Pac Attack, except for the fact that you have a limited number of Pac Men. To clear a stage, you will have to chomp all of the ghosts on the screen with the number of Pac Men you have. You might even have to make lines in order to get to those pesky things.
So what's really wrong? They didn't include Pac-Man Jr., Baby Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man Pac-Man 2, plus much more. If only they did, this would be good. So they can't call it a collection.
