Analysis of the Pac-Man Museum + – Four decades of history

Pac-Man Museum+ brings together 14 legendary games from our friend “pac-man” to retrace more than 40 years of history

Not all video game sagas can be proud to have been active for more than four decades. Pac manthe “pacman” for many of us, turns 42 with Pac-Man+ Museum, a compilation of 14 of his most legendary deliveries. In addition, this title is included in Xbox Game Passsince it has entered the Microsoft subscription service since its launch on both consoles, PC and xCloud.

Pac-Man Museum+, developed by Now Production and edited by bandai namco, presents us in this new compilation an arcade as a lobby to be able to start a game in any of the titles included. To do this, we can go to the different custom arcade c abinets to select the game in question or access it from the game’s own menu.

From the first moment we will have the freedom to redecorate and change places all the decorative elements of our living room. Although we will unlock more decorative items and visitors as we complete challenges.

Several of the games included in Pac-Man Museum+ will be locked to begin with.or, although it won’t take long to get them all. Just a few games in some games and we can already enjoy the whole collection. A good reason to take a tour between the different genres of deliveries chosen.

In the variety is the spice

The selection of games is quite varied, with classic proposals such as Pac man original from 1980 oh super pacman, its direct sequel. THAT IS Pac-in-Time, which will take us to a fairly demanding (and rough) platform world with different abilities to solve puzzles. You will also find more recent titles such as Pacman Battle Royale oh Pacman 256and endless runner based on the Pac-Man level 256 glitch.

titles like Pac-Man Championship Edition oh Pac-Man arrangement They offer a similar experience to the original titles with their own rules that make them more entertaining. If you are still looking for a different type of experience, Pac’n Roll will take you to a playable style similar to 3D Sonic or you can also play a hybrid between Tetris and Pac-man with Pac Attack.

Ultimately, a good collection which, thanks to the challenges that each game has, achieves did you poke. Also, if you die often in any section, you can “throw more coins” into the machine to complete the games and enjoy their original credits. Without forgetting the 70 original songs of the included titles that we can unlock to play on the jukebox of our facilities.

Just one more game

The emulation that the 14 Pac-Man Museum+ titles run on works fairly well in all titles, although it’s not quite perfect in some control details or graphical quality at times. Although in general terms it is more than ok. I would have liked it too slightly more intuitive menus

and friendly when looking for some kind of instructions for each game in question. Little more to add to a collection that has several titles that are true pillars of the industry.

In short, if you are a fan of the saga, you should not miss this Pac-Man Museum+ to enjoy a wide range of titles, both hits and rarities. If like me, you didn’t appreciate the titles main stream Comecocos, you will surely find a pleasant surprise among its varied repertoire. A beautiful tribute to this endearing character at a reasonable price and which you can enjoy for free on Xbox if you are a Game Pass user.
