{{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 {{c|Pac-Man}} in various colors, as the playing pieces, with the Ghostmonsters as obstacles.
'''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.


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''.
