Not to be confused with a similarly titled but wholly different game that appeared in Namco Museum Battle Collection.

Pac-Man Arrangement is a remake of the game Pac-Man. It was released in 1996 by Namco as part of Namco Classics Collection Volume 2.

Gameplay

Like the original Pac-Man, Pac-Man Arrangement is a maze game in which the objective is to clear all dots on the board by eating them and avoiding hazardous contact with the ghosts that also inhabit the maze.

Ghosts

Each ghost has characteristics similar to those displayed by their counterparts in the original arcade game. There is also a new yellow ghost with glasses named Kinky. While the four main ghosts are only edible for a brief period after Pac-Man eats an energizer, Kinky is always vulnerable to attack, and this is always blue except for when Pac-Man loses a life. If he is eaten by Pac-Man, he acts as an energizer, making the other ghosts vulnerable to attack as well for a brief time. In some levels, there are dash arrows on the ground that allow Pac-Man to rapidly zip from one end of the board to the other end. When on a dash, hitting ghosts will make them dizzy and temporarily motionless. There are also additional power-up items that appear occasionally. However, when Kinky touches a ghost, they transform into their power form which they are harder to avoid. The red ghost speeds fasts, the pink ghost jumps invisible, the blue ghost has a reflection of himself, and the orange ghost adds more dots to the maze. The red ghost starts out as his regular look but his face gets angry.

Items

The red wand makes Pac-Man speed faster, the pink wand sends ghosts into a pot, the blue wand makes Pac-Man have his own reflection, the orange wand makes Pac-Man gobble the dots faster, the yellow one adds 100 points, the special one transforms the ghosts into presents, and the fruits, objects and 1-ups are special items. In the final round the S bomb will destroy the ghosts, and the Pac-Man bomb destroys the four main ghosts.

Ports

This game is packaged along with Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and nine other games in Namco Museum for PlayStation 2. Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube. It was also released with three other games in Pac-Man Collection.

Trivia

The bullet item in rounds 15 and 16 came from the games Galaga and Galaxian.
