Play Pac-Man Collection Online

I picked up Pac-Man Collection for the Game Boy Advance back in 2001, a Namco release that felt right at home on the handheld. It was a solid compilation to have in your pocket during that era, a time when having a few classic arcade hits on the go was a real treat. The cartridge didn't try to reinvent anything; it just delivered a dependable set of mazes for quick sessions between classes or on long trips.

You control Pac-Man, guiding him through a series of interconnected mazes to clear all the dots while avoiding four persistent ghosts. The main objective is simple: eat everything on the screen without getting caught. The signature mechanics are the power pellets that let you turn the tables and chase the ghosts for a short time, and the fruit that appears for bonus points. The pacing is relentless; the ghosts get smarter and faster as you progress, creating a real tension between cautious planning and frantic dashes for the exit. It feels sharp and responsive, a pure test of pattern recognition and quick reflexes that still holds up.
