Pac-Man: Adventures in Time

Pac-Man: Adventures in Time (2000)

by Creative Asylum, Hasbro Interactive
Genres:Arcade
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:As in the original Pac-Man arcade game, the basic objective of each level is to guide Pac-Man through a maze while eating dots, unique food items, and power pellets that make Pac-Man's enemies, the Ghosts, edible for a limited time. The ability to jump returns from Pac-Mania for bypassing hazards and avoiding enemies. Some levels contain obstacles such as deadly boulders, animals who delay or kill Pac-Man, and explosive projectiles. After every few rounds there is a bonus mini-game in which the player can obtain some extra points (with every 50,000 points earning Pac-Man an extra life). The levels also feature a variety of shapes and architectural features such as cylindrical mazes, canopies, bridges, pyramids, and even walls that allow Pac-Man to walk vertically. The game features more sophisticated events than its arcade predecessor, such as collecting a certain number of pellets to unlock another area of a maze. The game also includes the ability to see the short intermission videos that come before a new level and allow for an option of non-storyline play on specific levels. The game also has the ability to connect over the Internet for multiplayer mini-games.Show more

My old friend from post hurricane katrina burned it onto a disc for me and i thought he was the coolest person I've ever met for that. The game adds a lot of interesting twists to the tride and true Pacman maze formula and I think its one of the best out there. Its super challenging, especailly in the late game. Tons of big mazes to learn and master. It's my go-to game for testing old computers and I would love for more people to be able to play it.

Played this game with my grandma, who I bonded with over video games more than anyone else in my life. She introduced me to Pac-Man, Tetris, and a ton of the old PopCap catalog, and got me interested in PC gaming at a time when all I knew was on console. Frankly, it blows my mind Namco never took the concept of a level-by-level maze game with unique stages and gimmicks further, and I really want more people to play this; there's surprisingly few Pac-Man games like Adventures in Time.
I remember seeing a commercial for this game way back in the 2000's, and I was already familiar enough with Pac-Man to want to try it. Funnily enough I didn't get many opportunities to play it cuz I didn't have my own PC until years later, but what rare few times I did get to play it I did enjoy. I have my doubts they'd release it nowadays cuz Namco had little to no involvement with it, and Ms. Pac-Man is featured in the Multiplayer Mode and some extra cutscenes, but it would be a neat little miracle if it ever does get a proper re-release!

I had this game as a teenager and it was a lot of fun, pretty simple in that it's just classic Pacman mazes with 3D gimmicks, I would love to play it again! Come on Namco!

Maze Craze
Maze CrazeIn Maze Craze, your goal is to be the first of two players to make it out of a maze! Each player controls a cop that starts on the left, and the first player to make it out the exit on the right wins. The game also includes of variety of options. The maze can be completely visible, completely invisible, or have just a few parts invisible. With invisible mazes you can optionally have the computer provide a sneak peak at the complete maze periodically. To make your task more challenging, one to five robbers may also be placed in the maze. If you are caught by one of the robbers, you will momentarily be stunned giving your opponent an advantage. You can also give your cop the ability to set up a blockade to confuse your opponent. This will look like a regular wall, however you can walk straight through it. The games speed can also be adjusted, from calculatingly slow to extremely fast.

Pit-Fighter
Pit-FighterThe gameplay is similar to Taito's Violence Fight and SNK's Street Smart. The player must jump, punch, and kick their opponent until his/her energy runs out. If the player presses all three of the buttons at a time, the character will perform a "super move". The player begins Pit-Fighter by choosing one of the three playable characters, who all have different moves, speed, and power. In the player select screen in the arcade version, each player has a color to select the fighters with: for player one it's blue, for player two it's red and for player three it's yellow. As many as three people can play at a time, but there will be extra opponents to fight during any of this game's 15 different matches. Every third fight is a bonus round known as a Grudge Match.[1] In a Grudge Match, the player must fight against a CPU controlled clone of his or her fighter (if playing alone) or the other players in a multiplayer game. Getting knocked down three times eliminates a player from the Grudge Match, the winner is the last man standing. Losing the Grudge Match does not eliminate a player, but the winner gets bonus money. The final battle, the "Championship Match", is between the player and the mysterious entity that taunts between matches every once in a while, the Masked Warrior. If more than one person is playing the game before this match, they must fight each other to the death until only one becomes victorious and can fight him. Sometimes during matches the player will come across foreign objects such as knives, crates, sticks, motorcycles, and bar stools that can be thrown at you or your opponent. The player may also come across a power-up known as the "power pill". If the player or the opponent grab this item, one will become temporarily stronger and take less damage from hits. At times even the crowd will interfere in the fights. Two characters, known as Knife Man (Milt Loper) and Knife Woman (Dianne Bertucci), will come out of the crowd and stab the player with their daggers. The player can take these nuisances out with one hit. Sometimes there is also a fat bearded man with a stick. If the player knocks him down, the player can take the stick and use it against the current opponent. The audience will also push any fighter that ends up among them, and stays there more than a few seconds. They will be forced back into the fighting area.
