    Pacmania, Commodore 64.

    You might be thinking this is Pac-Mania by Namco, one of the later early Pac-Man sequels. It isn’t. Instead, this is a Pac-Man clone that was created for various Commodore 8-bit computers, including the Commodore 64.

    Despite being a clone and an obvious rip-off of Pac-Man, it is a decent game if you like these sorts of games. The game looks and plays much like Pac-Man with a few unique twists. The maze layouts are different but the real big difference is the addition of H icons in the maze. Contacting one of these will cause you to teleport elsewhere in the maze. Otherwise, the ghosts, power pellets and fruit that you would expect are all still there, as of course is Pac-Man himself, thought he patterns and locations you are used to will be different.

    I don’t think this game existed outside of the Commodore 8-bit world. In addition to the Commodore 64 it was also available for the VIC-20 and the more obscure Commodore 16 and Plus/4.
