Released in 1994 for the SNES, Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures departs from classic maze-chasing to deliver a unique interactive cartoon and point-and-click adventure. Developed by Namco, you don’t control Pac-Man directly; instead, you act as his guide, using a slingshot to draw his attention to items and hazards as he tries to complete daily chores for his family.
How to Play
Your goal is to guide Pac-Man through various errands by managing his mood and pointing out objects in the environment. Use the standard SNES browser controls: the arrow keys move your on-screen cursor, while the face buttons (Z, X, A, S) allow you to fire your slingshot or command Pac-Man to look in a specific direction. Enter and Shift act as Start and Select.
Tips
- Manage his mood: Pac-Man’s emotional state dictates his behavior. A happy Pac-Man is cooperative, while an angry or scared one might ignore your hints or panic.
- Hunt for Power Pellets: Keep an eye out for hidden Power Pellets in the background. Shooting them allows Pac-Man to eat them and become Super Pac-Man, which is essential for fighting off ghost ambushes.
- Experiment with the slingshot: Don’t hesitate to shoot random background objects. Many hold hidden points, trigger funny animations, or reveal items that change Pac-Man’s mood.
