Image: MobyGames

Pac-Land

Break Time at the church with Tinkerbell


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: NEC

Year: 1990

System: TurboGrafx-16


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

It's a runner with the weirdest controls ever. II makes you go left while I makes you move right. Pressing any direction on the d-pad makes you jump and alternating II and I make you hover in the air. Uhh, ok Once you get used to the weird controls it's not that bad. It scratches that speed running itch anyway.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Levels are strange. Each level area few new elements to keep things fresh. Some are squirrelly, like the bounce pads that sometimes work and sometimes don't. I think it's safe to say this hasn't aged as well as SMB which released at about the same time.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

I've never been much of a Pac-Man fan so this does nothing for me.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Looks like an early 80s arcade game. And that's because it is


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Cute sounds.


Overall Score: 57

Review ID: 1485
