Jr. Pac-Man

PC
Genre:  Arcade    |     Year: 1988    |     Publisher: Thunder Mountain     |     Developer: Thunder Mountain
Game Review (written by Herethen) Added on: 04/09/2009
Jr. Pac Man provides interesting gameplay that is none too new, but none too familiar at the same time.
The graphics of Jr. Pac Man are what is to be expected. Low pixel graphics of a maze, of ghosts, and of Jr. himself. Although nothing groundbreaking, they are a nice improvement over the originals. The colors are brighter, the images are sharper, and the overall look of the game is just better. Very easy to look at and yet, does get sore on the eyes after a while.
But then again, that happens with most video games at one time or another. One of the gripes I do have with the game is that they are still using the same colors for the ghosts as in the original Pac Man. Overall, the graphics are above average, but still nothing to shine at.
The audio remains largely unchanged compared to the other games in the "series". The basic MIDI files for the intro music and then a nonsensical repetition of Jr. smacking his lips together over and over again. Although this is what it is in a retro game, I have found that I have quit more Pac Man games due to the sound than any other reason. The only thing that might break up the

monotony of sound is the occasional collection sound for eating a cherry or the occasional defeat sound for getting hit by a ghost.
Although I do have some issues with other aspects of the game, this is where Jr. Pac Man really shines. Just like all the other games in the series, the gameplay is simple yet addictive. Almost being to the point of Tetris in addictiveness. You get chased around the maze while trying to collect food from every corner of the map while at the same time trying to get rid of those interfering ghosts. Apparently those ghosts don't like eating healthy though. Addictively enjoyable and an instant classic.
Jr. Pac Man is thoroughly enjoyable and would be a welcome addition to just about anyone's game collection.

This is a game that children may want to play. But I feel this not very amusing. Let me play then I can decide. There are multiple versions of Pacman available.
