{{nihongo|'''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]] as the main playing pieces, with the Ghosts and blocks as obstacles. The game was initially published in [[1993]] for the [[Sega Genesis]] and [[SNES]]. [[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 released as ''Pac-Panic'' in Europe.

On a [[Tetris]]-like board the player drops blocks consisting of Ghosts, Blocks, Pac-Man, and one Fairy (if your Fairy Meter is full) to the ground. The objective is to prevent the blocks from stacking up to the top of the board. Rows are removed from the board whenever they are entirely filled with blocks. When Pac-Man arrives, he eats ghosts in whichever direction he is facing. As he eats ghosts, the Fairy Meter goes up. Once full, a fairy will eventually appear. When the fairy lands, she waves her wand and every ghost in the eight rows below will disappear, often resulting in numerous lines being completed and simplifying the board.
