No joke. Many of these offshoot Pacman games are fun. They are typically cheap to buy or even on sub plans.

Pacman 256, Pacman Championship 1 and 2. Probably some more I missed. Not the type of game to play for 2 hrs straight. But good games for a 20 minute break.

It’s a shame they’ve gone with selling the skins at launch rather than regular events to earn them. That was one of the things that kept me returning to Tetris 99.

Still, there isn’t a Devil World skin yet...

It’s fun But it is no Tetris 99. The little pac mans that slow you down is nowhere near as satisfying as garbage blocks. After about 7 games I already had my fill. $15 for the unlock modes is way to much for what this is. Should be half that if not $5 as if they charge the whole $15 it better come with a Pac-Man / Pac-Man championship collection to play.

What time is it?
Pro Controller d-pad makes this impossible. Luckily there is a toggle for the analog stick which is set to off by default. More testing to come.

edit: much, much better. d-pad should be disabled by default, honestly and not the other way around.

I battled my way to some top ten finishes including 2nd but then saw this video and immediately got my first win using this cheese strat.



Oh well, Pac-Man 99, you had a good innings of a couple of hours.

Yeah there is no way they can fix this unless they purposely program a camping restrictor. Can you imagine how long games will be once everybody starts to do this.

I agree. Don’t understand that decision either

But then the guys doing this start will be building up harder and harder tables on each other till one of them wins.

They do, Its the Red ghosted pac man that crop up. They build up and fill up the table.

It's better than Mario 35 but I'm not feeling it like Tetris 99. Maybe if it had the killer music from the Pacman CE series.
