Jr. Pac-Man DescriptionJr. Pac-Man must eat all the dots in a maze in order to advance to the next stage. He's chased by killer ghosts but he can eat them while powered up after eating one of six large dots. Bonus points are awarded for eating the fruits and snacks that appear and wander the maze.Cabinet InformationThe game was first released as a dedicated machine that was similar to the cabinet used for Mappy. Due to declining video game sales in late 1983, however, Midway decided to halt production of the dedicated machines early on and manufacture conversion kits for the game instead.Game IntroductionOne of many sequels to Pac-Man, this version's innovative features include side-scrolling mazes, a lack of exits and moving prizes that not only destroy energizers but also create large dots that slow the players' movements considerably.Hacks
