Here is a review of the game that I had written:
Atari gave us a wonderful port of Ms. Pac-Man for the 7800 but they never released the original Pac-Man to the console, despite the system clearly being quite capable of reproducing that title. Maybe that was a good thing since it inspired Bob DeCrescenzo into developing more than just a port of Pac-Man for the 7800. Instead we now have a collection of Pac-Man games in one cartridge! Of course the original Pac-Man is here in all its glory but so is Ms. Pac-Man along with a thorough set of options for both games that also give you the well known “Plus” versions of both titles. You can now select to play on the original mazes or new mazes, you an select the type of game you want to play, the speed at which the Pac-People to move, the level of difficulty, the number of players, etc. This is all done through a very nice options menu that appears right after the well rendered title screen. The game is available with standard TIA sounds, which are done quite well. The game graphics are superb and, in some cases, improve upon what Atari did with Ms. Pac-Man as some of the maze colors and character details more closely match the arcade original. Pac-Man Collection is a superb title that is an absolute must for any 7800 owner.
