Pac-Man: Adventures in Time

Pac-Man: Adventures in Time (2000)

by Creative Asylum, Hasbro Interactive
Genres:Arcade
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:As in the original Pac-Man arcade game, the basic objective of each level is to guide Pac-Man through a maze while eating dots, unique food items, and power pellets that make Pac-Man's enemies, the Ghosts, edible for a limited time. The ability to jump returns from Pac-Mania for bypassing hazards and avoiding enemies. Some levels contain obstacles such as deadly boulders, animals who delay or kill Pac-Man, and explosive projectiles. After every few rounds there is a bonus mini-game in which the player can obtain some extra points (with every 50,000 points earning Pac-Man an extra life). The levels also feature a variety of shapes and architectural features such as cylindrical mazes, canopies, bridges, pyramids, and even walls that allow Pac-Man to walk vertically. The game features more sophisticated events than its arcade predecessor, such as collecting a certain number of pellets to unlock another area of a maze. The game also includes the ability to see the short intermission videos that come before a new level and allow for an option of non-storyline play on specific levels. The game also has the ability to connect over the Internet for multiplayer mini-games.Show more

My old friend from post hurricane katrina burned it onto a disc for me and i thought he was the coolest person I've ever met for that. The game adds a lot of interesting twists to the tride and true Pacman maze formula and I think its one of the best out there. Its super challenging, especailly in the late game. Tons of big mazes to learn and master. It's my go-to game for testing old computers and I would love for more people to be able to play it.

Played this game with my grandma, who I bonded with over video games more than anyone else in my life. She introduced me to Pac-Man, Tetris, and a ton of the old PopCap catalog, and got me interested in PC gaming at a time when all I knew was on console. Frankly, it blows my mind Namco never took the concept of a level-by-level maze game with unique stages and gimmicks further, and I really want more people to play this; there's surprisingly few Pac-Man games like Adventures in Time.
I remember seeing a commercial for this game way back in the 2000's, and I was already familiar enough with Pac-Man to want to try it. Funnily enough I didn't get many opportunities to play it cuz I didn't have my own PC until years later, but what rare few times I did get to play it I did enjoy. I have my doubts they'd release it nowadays cuz Namco had little to no involvement with it, and Ms. Pac-Man is featured in the Multiplayer Mode and some extra cutscenes, but it would be a neat little miracle if it ever does get a proper re-release!

Gauntlet II
Gauntlet IIThe gameplay is very similar to the original Gauntlet, a topdown dungeon crawl supporting up to four players. The biggest difference from the original game is that players can choose identical classes, instead of being limited to a particular one for each joystick; each player is differentiated by color. Thus, instead of having a "warrior", "wizard", and "valkyrie" (for instance), in Gauntlet II there could be a "red wizard", a "blue elf" and a "green warrior". In addition to the new "class" system, new level designs were added, including the possibility of encountering them in altered ways by having the play-field turned in steps of 90°. Other new features included the enemy "It", which upon contact would make a player "It" and draw all enemies towards him/her. The only way to release this curse is by touching another player or entering the exit, turning any level containing "It" into a fantasy filled game of tag. Other notable additions include the ability to ricochet shots off walls by means of a special pick-up, acid puddles that caused large, predetermined amounts of damage and a large dragon which would occupy multiple squares and require multiple hits to destroy. New level elements were also added, adding more variety to the original game. These included "all walls are invisible", "magic walls" which changed into monsters or items when hit, "stun tiles" which stunned the player, and fake exits. Another challenge in the game is the possibility to find a "secret room". This can be found by completing specific achievements within the level (e.g., "don't be fooled", means that you must find the real exit first). The secret room contains items such as food and magic potions (extra shot power, extra shot speed, extra magic power, extra speed, extra armor and extra fight power). This sequel was also the first to feature what is now known as the Gauntlet theme tune, which resembles a simplified Baroque fugue.

Black & White Bushido
Black & White BushidoThings are rarely ever black and white, but that’s not the case in Black & White Bushido. With an original soundtrack and gorgeous, stylistic 2D visuals, you’re either a light or shadow samurai facing down your opponents in a combat arena. The black and white style makes each battlefield a dangerous place, filled with hiding spots for four players to fight and hide in. It’s a simple concept boiled down to an infinitely replayable set of team death match or Capture the Flag sessions. Black & White Bushido is an arena fighting game between light and shadow samurai.

Gauntlet
GauntletThe players, up to four at once in the arcade version, select among four playable fantasy-based characters; Thor the Warrior, Merlin the Wizard, Thyra the Valkyrie, or Questor the Elf. Each character has his or her own unique strength and weaknesses. For example, the Warrior is strongest in hand-to-hand combat, the Wizard has the most powerful magic, the Valkyrie has the best armour and the Elf is the fastest in movement. Upon selecting a playable character, the gameplay is set within a series of top-down, third-person perspective mazes where the object is to find and touch the designated exit in every level. An assortment of special items can be located in each level that increase player's character's health, unlock doors, gain more points and magical potions that can destroy all of the enemies on screen. The enemies are an assortment of fantasy-based monsters, including ghosts, grunts, demons, lobbers, sorcerers and thieves. Each enters the level through specific generators, which can be destroyed. While there are no bosses in the game, the most dangerous enemy is "Death", who can not only drain a character's health, but is difficult to destroy. As the game progresses, higher levels of skill are needed to reach the exit, with success often depending on the willingness of the players to cooperate by sharing food and luring monsters into places where they can be engaged and slaughtered more conveniently. While contact with enemies reduces the player's health, it also slowly drains on its own, thus creating a time limit. When a character's health reaches zero, that character dies. The character can be revived in place with full health by spending a game credit (i.e. inserting a coin) within a certain short time window after it died. This allows even the least proficient players to keep playing indefinitely, if they are willing to keep inserting coins.
