Jr. Pacman 1983 running on MAME

One of many sequels to the legendary "Pac-Man", Jr. Pac-Man features the character of Pac-Man's son. For the first time in the series' history, side-scrolling mazes were introduced, with each maze being two screens wide.

This time, the mazes have no exit tunnels through which players can make an escape. The bonus items that appear move around the maze and are now something of a mixed blessing, as not only will they destroy any Power Pills they come across, but they will also turn any normal dots they pass over into large dots that slow the player's movements considerably, but are worth more points than normal dots if eaten by the player. Any mutated dots in the maze will disappear if the player loses a life.

Why Namco couldn't have acquired THIS one from Bally Midway like they did with Ms. Pac-Man....No wonder Namco went to Atari for distribution of Pac-Mania in the US.

@PatrioticLionLeo I don't want to hear from a patriot. I only want answers from americans. I'm an american not a fucking patriot.

@justinpacman I do know that each of the ghosts' Japanese names are based on their personalities.

@DiggerandIndy it's bally midways fault. clyde in japan was at first translated as stupid (!) and then in the u.s, bally midway made clyde. Bally midway changed these names because they made jr.pacman and ms.pacman

They used this game as a propaganda tool to get kids to believe the stork myth

[PatrioticLionLeo]

And I respect that.

I prefer to call him "Clyde" no matter what Pac-Man game I'm playing.

[PatrioticLionLeo]

They change the name, really, to distinguish between Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Jr. Pacman. That's why it's Clyde, then Sue, then Tim. Hope that clarified it up for you.

Take it from me, this is one patriot who knows what he's talking about!

I think CLYDES name should be "Mr. Miscillanious".
