Play Pako Online
You're just a car in a cramped parking lot, swerving between parked vehicles while a swarm of cop cars tries to box you in—one wrong turn and it's over. The panic sets in fast when the screen fills with flashing lights and you're scrambling for an exit.
Game Overview
Pako is one of those MS-DOS games that somehow makes a parking lot feel like the most dangerous place on earth. You're just a car—no fancy upgrades, no story—trying to outrun an ever-growing swarm of cop cars in this tight, claustrophobic grid of parked vehicles. Hit a barrier or get cornered, and it's game over.
The genius is in how simple it is. You steer, you dodge, and within seconds you're sweating as the screen fills with flashing lights and wreckage. The cops don’t just follow you—they hunt, boxing you in until you pull off some ridiculous last-second swerve. I lost count of how many times I crashed because I panicked and forgot the handbrake existed.
It’s got that perfect arcade balance: easy to grasp, punishing to master, and weirdly hypnotic even when you’re terrible at it. If you’ve ever played Micro Machines and thought “this needs more police-induced terror,” Pako’s your game. Just don’t blame me when you realize an hour’s gone by and you’re still muttering “one more try.”
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
