Pac-Attack (パックアタック?) is a puzzle game in the vein of Columns and Dr. Mario. It was adapted from Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, an arcade game released in the previous year.
Released by Namco, it features Pac-Man in various colors, as the playing pieces, with the Ghostmonsters as obstacles.
The game was initially published in 1993 for the Sega Genesis and SNES. Sega Game Gear and Game Boy versions followed in 1994. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color releases also feature a Super Game Boy enhanced color palette. Although Cosmo Gang the Puzzle was released to the arcades, there was never an arcade version of Pac-Attack. The game was also known as Pac-Man: Pac-Attack and Pac-Panic.
It has been re-released on various Namco anthologies such as the Game Boy Color's Pac-Man: Special Color Edition, Pac-Man Collection, Pac-Man World 2 and the PlayStation 2/Xbox/Nintendo GameCube version of Namco Museum. The SNES version was re-released on the Wii Virtual Console download service in North America on January 14, 2008, with a European release following on June 27, 2008.
