Pac-Man - Special Color Edition (USA)

Pac-Man - Special Color Edition overview and version notes

Released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color, it's a vibrant portable collection that bundles two classics: a faithful, color-enhanced Pac-Man port and the falling-block puzzle game Pac-Attack. For retro heads like me who logged hours in arcades and at home, this cartridge delivers that perfect 'hit'—the original's unaltered challenge, now pocket-sized with a fantastic color palette upgrade that makes those blue ghosts and power pellets really pop against the maze.

• Authentic Ghost Pattern Play
  This isn't some sloppy remake—it uses the same AI routines for Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde as the Atari Games (Midway) original. If you know how to bait Blinky into a wrong turn in the arcade's first pattern, that very move works right here on your GBC screen.
• Dual-Game Cartridge Novelty
  Having the core Pac-Man experience alongside Pac-Attack always felt like great value. While the puzzle spin-off is pure Namco weirdness with its falling ghosts and blocks, mastering its combos offers a completely different, relaxing break from the high-wire maze drama.
• Pixel-Perfect Color Refresh
  Namco didn't just apply a simple tint. They used the GBC's hardware to give the walls that iconic arcade cabinet goldenrod hue, made the energizer dots pulse a brilliant white, and gave each fruit its own distinct color, a treat for those of us used to more monochrome portable versions.
