Once you reach the beer(!) level, all following screens are beer levels.Īn extra life is awarded for 10,000 points.ĭifficulty can be set to normal or hard (default is normal). The ghosts get progressively faster with each new screen, increasing the challenge for Jr Pacman who does not. The level is cleared when all the dots are eaten, and every screen has a different maze to negotiate. Also if a bonus item reaches a powerpill it will explode, causing you to be unable to use the powerpill on that maze. They move around the maze the same as in Ms Pacman, but this time they also mutate the dots they move over, causing you to move slower when clearing them.

The playfield size is around three times the screen's width, and fixed height.Īs in Pacman and Ms Pacman your adversaries are the same four ghosts but also this time the bonus items also pose a threat. The screen scrolls as you move around the maze to reveal the new area. This time you were faced with a playfield which was larger than could be displayed on screen. This rehash of the old favourite saw a couple of new twists in the game design gone were the tunnels from the previous two incarnations.

Jr Pacman is distinguihed from his parents plain head and bow, by the hat stuck on his head which has a windmill attached. In this game you control Jr Pacman, the son of Pacman and Ms Pacman, dropped off at the Pac household by special stork delivery. I personally never saw an actual arcade version of this game, but was introduced to it when it was first added to MAME. The second sequel to the phenomenally successful Pacman was released in 1983 by Midway.
