Buffalo Games - Pac-Man Game,10 years +

Awesome game! Blinky got me. At first I thought I had board piece that was too big, but it just need to be connected a certain way. The game ended about as fast as it does when I play the arcade. Hah Going to try arcade mode next.

Instructions are complicated but once you figure it out, the game is quite enjoyable. It takes about 15 minutes to set up, and put away, with about 30 game sessions. It has continued to be worth the price throughout the time we've had it. The board requires some space, but playing on the floor works fine. There are stickers, so if you're picky about how they look, make sure you do the first time setup yourself. There is also Pacman sounds that play when you move the Pacman piece. The sound quality is weak but gets the point across and sounds accurate to the arcade game.

We really like this game! The rules weren’t too complicated (especially if you are already familiar with the PacMan arcade/video game..) and it really isn’t a lot of work to reset the board so the next person can have a turn being PacMan .. we thought it would be and were a little intimidated by all the tiny pegs at first because we weren’t sure if we installed them right or how far we could push them down at first, but we quickly got the hang of it. The main challenge in resetting for the next player is keeping the board segments together .. it can be a little difficult to maneuver the board in order to hold it together while pushing the pegs back up from the bottom of the board. But it’s really not that big of a deal. Also a good thing about this game is that you can set a round limit in advance for yourselves if you want. For example, depending how much time we had, if we have 2 people taking turns we could do a quick game of 3 rounds each as PacMan — it’s like having a quick video game fix without actually using any electronics. I could see it being a great transition activity for kids or a motivator activity for them to get tasks done quicker, since it doesn’t have have to take long to complete a round, and you can keep a running tab on scores, leave it set up, & come back to it later if you want. (The length of time each round takes varies depending on how good you are at playing the game.) Overall, we really enjoy this game and think others would as well. :-)

This game was really fun for me and my family to play. My son got this for his birthday and was really excited. He loves PAC MAN, so I knew that this game would be perfect. I love that PAC MAN makes noises when he moves. I didn’t really like how hard it was to put the yellow pieces in the game. It was even harder to take the out. The board game was somewhat hard to put together, surprisingly. I did like the design of the ghosts and PAC MAN. It is a really high quality game. I will admit that the instructions were somewhat hard to understand and were very complex. Their were a ton of complicated rules, so my 6 year old wasn’t really able to enjoy the game. The pieces can also go missing, quite easily. I don’t recommend this game for younger kids, especially 6 and younger.

Es genial como han podido adaptar un juego de consola a uno de mesa. Es muy entretenido, deben comprarlo sin dudas.

Muy buen juego , es entretenido , me gusto mucho.

si, dice + 10años, pero fue el regalo de navidad de mi hijo de 4años. (sabe que no puede meterse ninguna pieza pequeña a la boca, ya esta super entrenado jaja), simplemente amó su juguete. Se entretiene jugando por horas :)

As a child of the late 70's/early 80's, I really wanted to love this game. There's plenty to love, mind you, just not enough for me to play it more than once.First of all, the production quality of the game is top-notch. The board, the ghosts, and Pac-Man are sturdy plastic and will probably last forever. The tokens are cardboard and are printed on both sides. Pac-Man makes a single, delightful "wakka-wakka" sound when you press down on him (like when he "eats" a dot).So, up to 5 people can play this game--1 person as Pac-Man and the rest as ghosts. Pac-Man goes about the board trying to score points by clearing sections of the boards, eating fruit and ghosts. Pac-Man's turn is over once he gets hit by a ghost.The problem is, only the Pac-Man scores points. Each player has to take a turn as Pac-Man while everyone else plays the ghosts. Why is this a problem? Well, you have to reset the entire gameboard for each player--and this can be a chore. When Pac-Man "eats" a dot, he pushes a peg/dot down into the board. All those pegs/dots have to be pushed back up to reset the board. I found that this usually required the four sections of the board to be disassembled--meaning they have to be reassembled which is no minor feat.As far as game play goes, it is very similar to the video game, just slower. I will probably be sticking to the video game as I am unsure if I will ever break this game out again. My 7-year-old liked it until he experienced resetting the board a couple of times.I will say that if you are a huge Pac-Man fan and love all things 80's, then you may totally enjoy this game--at least for the first few times. The Pac-Man and ghost figures may find their way onto a display shelf while the game stays in the closet.
