Play Pac-Mania (Europe) Online

Pac-Mania came to the Sega Master System in 1991, a conversion of Namco's arcade game that brought a new perspective to the familiar chase. It arrived late in the system's life, offering a different take on a well known formula for players still invested in the 8 bit hardware.

You control Pac Man through isometric mazes, eating dots while evading four persistent ghosts. The main goal remains clearing each stage of all pellets, but the new jump mechanic lets you hop over ghosts at the last moment, adding a crucial defensive option. The perspective makes judging distances trickier than in the classic top down view, and new ghost types like the fast, unpredictable Funky Ghosts increase the pressure. It feels like a tense, spatial puzzle where every jump is a calculated risk.
