Pac-Land DescriptionA cute game where Pac-Man, having arms, legs and a face, travels through scrolling cartoon worlds avoiding obstacles in a quest to help a lost fairy get home. Ghosts chase him on pogo sticks and in cars, aeroplanes and flying saucers. Hidden bonuses include fruit, flying boots, etc.Know anything more about this game? Game IntroductionThe graphics resemble the art and animation from the Saturday morning animated series of Pac-Man. The game's theme music is also from the animated series.In the game, a fairy is lost in Pac-Land and needs Pac-Man to help her get back home to Fairyland. But it will not be easy because five deadly ghosts: Pinky, Inky, Blinky, Clyde and Sue will pursue Pac-Man as he travels through Pac-Land. When Pac-Man has helped the lost fairy get back home to FairyLand on the final stage, he is given a pair of magic shoes to help get back to his own home in Pac-Land. Game PlayUse the directional buttons to make Pac-Man walk right or left. To make him run, press down on a directional button repeatedly.Pac-Man must avoid the ghosts and other deadly objects by jumping over or dodging them. He must also make it to the end of each stage before time runs out, otherwise he will be chased by a ghost. On some stages, Pac-Man must use a springboard to jump over big ponds. Everytime Pac-Man makes it to the end of a stage, a bonus will be awarded based on how much time is left. On each stage, there are cherries and other items which Pac-Man can collect to score points. Also, there is an energizer on each stage that he can get and after he gets it, he will temporarily be able to eat the ghosts. The energizer will temporarily turn all the ghosts blue allowing Pac-Man to eat them. When Pac-Man has made it to the end of the final stage, he will be given a pair of magic shoes that will help him on his way home. When he has reached home, he will meet with Ms. Pac-Man, Baby Pac-Man, Chomp Chomp the Pac-dog and Sourpuss the Pac-cat. Afterwards, the game begins again.

VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalThe game uses a 6809 microprocessor, a 63701 microprocessor, and a Namco 8-channel waveform PSG for sounds.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Pac-Land Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Bally Midway.
