Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Not much to say on this one - Namco's 1987 update to the original Pac-Man is essentially the same game, only brought up to date with better graphics. The art-style uses a cool pseudo 3D viewpoint, but the gameplay remains largely unchanged from the pill-munching original.
Graphics aside, the one change Pac-Mania does make is giving Pac-Man the ability to jump. Bouncing over approaching ghosts becomes an important skill, particularly in later levels where the spooks become faster and more aggressive.
This one's easy to sum up: if you like Pac-Man, there's a very good chance you'll have a good time with Pac-Mania.

WHAT A CLUTCH!
I love how if you’ve been in a level long enough Blinkys eyes turn angry. 😂
Blinky: *GHRAAAH! Why can’t I catch him!*
Same
That only happens in Pac-Man Arrangement
In Pac-Mania, Blinky grows angry when you only have 20 Pac-Dots left to eat
@@SpeedSLIDERRIt Happens On Pac-Man Megamix Also, When Pac-Man Has 35 Pellets Left To Eat Also On Pac-Man 5.
And This Game Too
Funkies And Spunkies Jump As Well!
Poor Pac-Man must have spent hours in the bathroom after eating all those keys, lol. 😆
This is my all time favorite Pac Man. I like the championship version as well, but still this is my favorite of all of them.
Once Blinky is angry he will begin to chase you and become faster
“HE JUMPS??” Blinky
One can only wonder why in the world Namco didn't port Pac-Mania to the TurboGrafx-16 as it would have been the best port out there in the early 90s.
Genesis good
Bc the genesis and snes were way better consoles
@@drshallow69the genesis port was godawful though since it was made by tengen (don't know how they made it so bad, since the ms pacman port is right there) and the snes version didn't get to exist, only the nes one.
the sharp x68000 port’s arcade perfect :P
It isn't even an objectively awful port, its the only port which allows you to see the most out of any version outside the Acorn Archimedes computer, just about has every music stinger and track in addition to 2 new tracks and the ability to have a pac booster enabled in any way@@ligiaamaral768
Does anyone else notice that this is where Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures gets some of its music from?
Yes, like what the heck?! I noticed that a long time ago.
*Pac-Mania*
Characters:
Pac-Man, the friendly yellow circular creature who is a dot-munching star.
Ghosts:
Blinky, the red ghost represents as the leader of the ghosts. He's typically aggressive when he speeds up.
Pinky, the smitten stalker. She's ahead of you!
Inky, Blinky's highly unpredictable sidekick. He's shatter-brained and can also sometimes chase Pacman aggressively like Blinky.
Clyde, the slow a minded one. He mostly distracts himself!
Sue, the purple ghost who follows Pacman just like Blinky. Beware of this playful ghost!
Funky, the atlethic bouncing ghost. Small, energic and deadly.
Spunky, Funkys cousin. It's really impossible to jump her!
There’s also the Giant Unknown Blue Ghost
This game's visuals and sound were very impressive for 1987
Even now, the visuals hold up pretty well.
Absolutely amazing probably the best looking game of the 80s
For an arcade game it's fairly standard fare, not that it's not great-looking but yeah
@@125scratch2 dude, 1987.
@@vanxilla still it's an arcade game rather than a console game
Why Namco wouldn't give Pinky and Sue some eyelashes??? They look ugly without them
This game is absolutely amazing I first witnessed this game on namco museum megamix for the Nintendo Wii
And then from that moment on this instantly became one of my favorite Pac-Man sequels I also love how you can jump over the ghosts but later on in the game itself they introduce ghosts that can also jump so in a way that sort of defeats the purpose of giving Pac-Man the ability to jump over the ghosts regardless of that though this game is still absolutely a blast to play
My favorite stages in this game are Pac-Mans Park because of that amazing pice of music that would later be used in ghostly adventures and block town i love the music used in that level as well its so charming to listen to and I absolutely love it overall this game is very fun and I recommend any Pac-Man fan to try it out its definitely a fun and very colorful game I also love that as you get closer to clearing a level Blinkys facial expression goes from normal to angry and yet none of the other ghosts go through this sudden change in facial expressions it appears that only Blinky does but nevertheless it is quite interesting to notice such a detail like that
With Lego bricks.
Green ghost isnt real it can hurt you
Green ghost:
Imagine that giant ghost from the cutscene being real...
I remember seeing this in a magazine in the late 90s and thinking it was a game from just a couple of years ago that I had somehow missed.
There have been so many times whenever I play this game that I forget I have the ability to jump.
This was one I only got to play a couple times at a restaurant when I was pretty young. I remember watching my cousin play it and then playing it myself later, but the restaurant only had room for about 4 arcade cabinets and changed them pretty frequently.
I think i first seen it at a Pizza Hut on vacation somewhere forever ago. I don't think I seen it again until I first found Funspot in NH
Jumping is interesting, but the jumping ghosts can be easily fooled.
With Spunky (the Gray one) no. But because of its dumby IA them don't tend to be a problem anyway.
So don't jump over THE gray ghost. You can ONLY jump over the green ghost depending on timing, but carefully!
@@TheSuperPlayer707, yes, Spunky jumps higher.
@@kingtrophyguide4362 no you can jump over spunky, she's just more of a pain in the ass to get over than her sibling funky >:[
Idk how could thus game be so cool bruh
Holy moly… Childhood memories coming back…
Namco shoud launch this game for the new generation,but with some enhancements, like to have another things for Pac-Man eats like fruits,drinks,foods,etc,instead only yellow dots.
I know there are these things in the center of the maze,but would be more fun like that.
Also giving the space to the players comunity to make their own mazes.
Would be great!
Agreed!
Disagree and that would be unfaithful to the original source
@@speedsterzeroex3960 indeed, instead of a remake, something new with this game as a basis.
ive loved this game since i was 6, and recently i got my very own Pac-Mania arcade machiene for my home, it looks beautiful in my room
Man didn't know this game existed til the switch collection😬
Have you wondered about the 7650 from chomping a ghost the third time in a power-up?
In Japanese, 765 is _namuko._ Can you guess what it relates to?
NAMCO!
IS IT NAMCO?!
@@SpeedSLIDERR YES 😝
It's funny you mention that because I was thinking that 7650 is very odd amount of points to award.
Bro you are a beast at this game wow
No man. It is a tool of emulators for make a perfect game no damage, no deaths, etc.
yo vi record de más de 1millon en los videos
This game is so hard i never passed the fifth let alone finish it without dying once you made it look easy
Funny, I found this to be significantly easier than the original Pacman. The ability to jump over the ghosts changes everything.
Pac-Mania is kind of emblematic of the "graphics over gameplay" approach that crept into gaming in the late 80's. It represents the daydream of "what if Pac-Man were in THREE DIMENSIONS? Wouldn't that be soooo cool?" And at the time, yes! Because the graphics were still rapidly evolving, asking that kind of question was cool, and it still is, just going by the comments here. (There were definitely a few freeware games that took the same question and answered it in terms of a first-person maze game, as well)
But it's also clunky to have the camera in so close when matched with the classic maze gameplay, and the extra ghosts and jumping kind of indicate that the design was hacked out after the graphics to try to make it work by heaping more stuff on. Today it'd be easy to take a different compromise by using a zooming camera, which wasn't really an option then.
its my fav stage in pac-mania it looks like 1980 pac-man maze 1:36
I played PAC-MANIA a lot on my Amiga 500.
I believe, i still have it.
Also, i have the Arcade version of this game
on my PlayStation 2 in a compilation called
NAMCO MUSEUM.
Great classic game 😺👍!
how the F did you one shot it with 1 live?
Good arcade )
The description states it’s an update with next to no gameplay updates but the jump is a game changer so don’t know what your on about there, but do you have the MAME rom for this? It’s one of my absolute favourite arcade games ever and my favourite Pac Man game. I want the rom for my Raspberry Pi/Retropie console.
This! The jumping mechanic is a bandaid for the lack of strategy. The viewpoint is way too zoomed in.
@@turrican4d599 ok I just said I like Pac Mania chill
@@turrican4d599 Skill issue
I have it on my arcade1up ms pacman 40th cocktail table
Played the emulated version more then the arcade one but the little yellow pill popper ghostbuster is pure fun nevermind the port 🤓
20:07 OMG 😱
the jumping Pac Man game
You know I wish I could beat the game , but the only levels that I found are Block Town and Pac-Man’s Park.
Oh man i want to finsh the leves great
How do you manage to select world?
Hey…I played a lot of this one. I’d love to go head to head. This is one of the hand full of games I consider (and others have said) myself good at.

PacMan Run Blinky anger Blinky ; i'm so anger I Catch PaCmAn!
New pacmania
visually appealing but the soundtrack is I feel inferior to the mega drive or genesis verision
I have fond memories of the Amiga port which was pretty faithful to the arcade version.
pacmania pacman looks like pixels pacman
I disagree: The original Pacman has a different gameplay, because, you were able to see the whole maze and therefore could plan your moves in advance! The ability to jump is a bandaid to accomidate for this flaw. Also, Pacmania has inputlag, which the Amiga conversion does not to this extent.
You disagree with who?

Pac-Man 3D?
Looks washed out in MAME for some reason (same on my PC), but better in Museum+ (except there it has forced filtering).
Es chevere pero tiene muy pocos niveles
No Game OVER?! Hacked
Si tienes razón jajaja 😂😂😂 juegas tú
Chincke gun
Nose caca megusta ver pac mania y tu
Juego e miprotelefono
Juego PAC Mania
Your Jump
The jumping makes this game too easy. I struggle with the original Pacman and beat this one like it was nothing.
Probably you didn't reach the levels when there are like 3 of green and gray ghosts
Bes el rap de pero tú
i'm Hacker mode
AL82
Wheres black
You would play this on arcade machines back then? Wow.
Nice cheats btw.
Decent enough game. Jumping kind of defeats the purpose of Pac Man. It will never top the original.
I think the industry was going through a proto-3D phase where isometric was hip and cool; I suspect the jump mechanic came from that ethos
I love jumping. It feels refreshing!
@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays The ability to jump is a bandaid, because you can only see a fraction of each labyrinth. Because of this way too zoomed in viewpoint, it plays completely different than the original.

Order No
Wow... the arcade music is actually pretty bad compared to the A500 version. That doesn't happen often!
I really enjoyed playing this back in the day and liked it more than regular PacMan, but never could quite get jumping to work to my advantage. I just sucked at it. 8)
