Pac In Time is a side scrolling platform game by Namco
and features the world most famous little yellow ball character ever made.
Pac Man has been thrown in the whirlpool of time by an evil Witch.
The goal of the game is simple, Pac Man must travel through five different
worlds and retrieve all the small Pac-Pellets hidden within them. Unlike
the original game, Pac Man can this time use four different super-powers
(symbolized by large rotating rings), giving him various abilities : magic rope
(green ring), fireballs (yellow ring), close range hammer (red ring) or swim
bubble (blue ring). Each ability needs to be strategically used to overcome traps
and obstacles. For instance, the hammer can be used to break wood logs or rocks
blocking the way, or the rope can be used to swing over deadly spikes or acid
pools. Many enemies, including the traditional ghosts, obviously try to stop
Pac Man in his quest. Thankfully, special power-pullets can be
collected and used to defeat them in a typical Pac Man manner. However,
all other enemies need to be defeated using the hammer or fireballs. An exit
door is hidden in every stage, and it will only opens up when all the
Pac-Pellets are collected. A password is also given to the player
every six levels or so to save his progress.
