Pac-Attack

Pac-Attack, also known as Pac-Panic in the European Union, is a puzzle game that was released by Namco Hometek (Namco's American direct-to-console division) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis in 1993 (and the Nintendo Game Boy and Sega Game Gear in 1994); it is adapted from Cosmo Gang: The Puzzle, which was released by their parent company in the previous year. Pac-Man himself takes on the role of the Balls while an infinite amount of Blinky and Sue clones take on the roles of the Jammers and Pipopapo-Tai, (Pac-Land's) Fairies take on the role of the Stars and "gold" bricks take on the role of the Containers - and it also introduced a Puzzle Mode, which had 100 levels and a password feature (much like that of the parent company's title, The Return of Ishtar). As with the game it is based on it allows scores that do not end in "0"; this makes it the eighth Namco game of this type as the parent company Namco of Japan had released Emeraldia earlier on in 1993.

This game was later rereleased as part of various Namco anthologies, such as the Game Boy Color's Pac-Man: Special Color Edition, the Game Boy Advance's Pac-Man Collection, Pac-Man World 2 and the PlayStation 2/Xbox/Nintendo GameCube version of Namco Museum - and the SNES version was rereleased on the Wii Virtual Console's download service in North America on January 14, 2008, with a European release following on June 27, 2008. There was also never an arcade version for this title.
