A great 2D upgrade to the original Pac Man of old Arcade fame.

This game is pretty much exactly like the old Pac Man with some extras added. The extras include a "shield" that protects you from being killed by ghosts, a "rocket" that makes you go very fast (nice for catching all the ghosts), and a freeze pellet that freezes all the ghosts.

Other extras included teleport and "pipes" at edges of the screen that pretty much teleport also.

The graphics aren't bad for 2D. The overall theme and board changes were different enough too keep me interested in getting to the next board. If I wasn't a cheap poor student I might have even bought it for the very fair price of 14.95.

Bomberman and Pacman are both classics in their own right, so it would seem clear that a game combining the two concepts is a good idea.

In this case, the game together as two things that work better on their own than together.  The inclusion of some interesting power-ups help to make the game fun to play. 

I personally liked the speed power-up the most, though it propelled me so quickly that I had a real tough time keeping Pacman on the straight and narrow.

I would have enjoyed not having such a limitation on bombs, as they help to open new  up new pathways while are you scampering around the board, but overall, an enjoyable afternoon worth of playing awaits you in PacBomber.
