'''Pac & Pal''' is easily the least successful and most misunderstood of all arcade titles in the Pac-Man series. Its design moves farther away from the original formula that debuted in ''[[Pac-Man]]'', and continues with the momentum of changes established in ''[[Super Pac-Man]]'', chasing away many Pac-Man purists. Apart from a the introduction of a new character in this game, one of the game's most radical changes is that Pac-Man no longer eats the ghosts. Rather, he eats a power item and stuns them with a beam from his mouth in order to pass safely through them while they remained stunned. However, he is not invulnerable if powered up, and can still be killed.
