Jr. Pac-Man is a 1983 action game by Bally Midway Manufacturing, presented here in its Atari 7800 version. Building on the classic formula, this iteration introduces scrolling mazes that extend beyond a single screen and removes the traditional escape tunnels. As you navigate the maze, you must dodge ghosts and deal with bouncing toys that alter the dots they touch, changing the pace and strategy of the game.
How to Play
The objective is to clear all the dots in each scrolling maze while avoiding the ghosts. Watch out for the toys bouncing through the mazeโwhen they touch dots, they enlarge them, which slows you down when eaten but awards more points. Be careful, as these toys can also destroy your power pellets.

Tips
- Keep an eye on the bouncing toys, as they can destroy your power pellets if you do not intercept them in time.
- Since the mazes scroll and have no side wrap-around tunnels, plan your route carefully to avoid being trapped by ghosts.
- Larger dots slow down your movement speed; clear them when the ghosts are far away to avoid being caught.
