4 out of 5 stars A NICE VISIT   August 25, 2008
I GREW UP IN THE 70-80'S, THE GAMES INCLUDED ON THIS CARTRIDGE WERE VERY MUCH A PART OF THE DAYS SPENT CUTTING SCHOOL AND GOING DOWN TO THE CANDY STORE TO PLAY THE VIDEO GAMES. PAC-MAN, GALAXIAN & GALAGA...NOT THE OTHER GAMES, GALAXIAN WAS MY FAVORITE AND I STILL SUCK AT IT...LOL

WORTH EVERY DIME AND EVERY CURSE I MUTTERED WHILE PLAYING IT



5 out of 5 stars Awesome   July 23, 2008

4 out of 5 stars Pac Man Vs... and then some neat bonuses...   May 30, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I picked this up on the strength of Pac-Man Vs. last week, and was more surprised by the additional content than anything else. It's a simple collection, Pacman, Mappy, Galaga, etc. but the options are nearly endless.

In all of the old 'coin op' games, you can change up many many options; continues, number of lives, speed, difficulty, etc. You can even play with the dip switches as you would to adjust settings on a real arcade cabinet. I was shocked by the sheer number of choices available to the gamer, within each individual title.

For $15, this game is worth it for Pac Man Vs. alone. For the uninitiated, its a multiplayer PacMan, where one player plays regular old PacMan, but all of your friends play the part of the ghosts. The ghosts are given a very limited view, and the game plays like normal, Power pellets will kill ghosts, but its the basis for an excellent game of cat-and-mouse.

I would recommend this title to children or adult fans of the original titles. Due to the wide variety of difficulty and gameplay options, the player can choose just how challenging they wish the game to be.

My only real knock is that the selection is a bit limited. I would have appreciated a few more titles, or a few less duplicates. But again, for the price, you can't go wrong.



3 out of 5 stars If I play this my vision gets fuzzy!   April 13, 2008
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have quite a few DS games, and this is the only one I have to avoid. If I play it for even five minutes my eyes have trouble focusing. They feel crossed. It doesn't matter what distance or angle I play at, and it happens every time. I've never worn glasses, I have good eyesight, I'm 29 years old. I've never had eye crossing problems with any other game ever and I've played manhy different games on many different systems. If anyone knows why this is please e-mail me.
I did enjoy pac man and mappy before making the definitie connection between fuzzy vision and this game. It's really not the same. I'd like to buy the pac man arcade game and have it in my house, because that's really the only way to play pac man. Also, my friends and I didn't care much for the pac man vs. It looks like fun, but it's oddly executed.
As for the other games on here. Galaga is fine, but not the same as on the big screen. I loathe dig dug 2, what is going on with that game?!? The tower of druaga is weird, pretty boring. I'm not fond of xevious either.

I am a 50 something woman,not much of a gamer, but got a DS for Christmas, and have become addicted to these games, especially Pacman and Galaxian. Playing them was exactly like back in the good ole days...and even my 10 year old niece enjoyed them, but of course she didn't have to read the instructions like I did.the graphics are good, if you liked it back in the 80's, you'll enjoy this game.
