Pac-Man Collection

Pac-Man Collection is a collection of four (five in the Japanese version) Pac-Man-related games, for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Mass Media, and published by Namco in the United States on July 12, 2001, in Europe on December 7, of that same year, and in Japan on January 11, 2002; while most of the games are of the familiar maze genre, Pac-Attack is a variation on the Tetris formula, and was "adapted" from Cosmo Gang: The Puzzle (1992). This compilation includes the following games:


 * Pac-Man (1980): The original game now has a choice of two views; for "Full Screen Mode", and  for "Scroll Mode", and in the latter, you can use the L and R buttons to view the maze's top and bottom halves. However, many of the arcade game patterns will not work in this version.


 * Pac-Mania (1987): This conversion of the series' inceptive 16-bit game is based on the original Japanese version; however, three of the songs have been cut down and the Jungly Steps one is missing completely (and has been substituted with a reprise of the cut-down Block Town theme).


 * Pac-Attack (1993): This conversion of the series' first "direct-to-console" game was based upon the Sega Genesis version; however, "Versus Mode" from it and the SNES version was removed.


 * Pac-Man Arrangement (1996): This conversion of the series' last arcade game is based on the US version, as evidenced by Blinky and Clyde's names being mistakenly swapped upon the title screen; however, the second player's fluorescent green Pac-Man and the end-of-game bonuses were removed. The Japanese version also features Ms. Pac-Man (1981), as a hidden game - it was originally developed by Midway Games, without Namco's authorization, but the rights were later turned over to them in 1982. It was also featured in Mass Media's Namco Museum title for GBA, along with Galaga (also from 1981), Dig Dug (1982), and Pole Position (also from 1982).

On June 11, 2014, this compilation was rereleased upon the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan and the United States (without Ms. Pac-Man for Japan), and in Europe and Australasia on the following day.
