Pac-Man Collection [GBA]

Pac-Man Fever. It was a classic 80s tune by Buckner & Garcia. It's also a compilation pack for the Game Boy Advance by Namco. And it's currently at the company's booth at this year's E³. Here's what we know so far on the game -- Pac-Man Fever will contain at least three of the top Pac-Man games for the Game Boy Advance.

First, the game that started it all, Pac-Man. If you don't know this title you've been locked in a cage. You'll do exactly what you did in the arcades in the early 80s – wander through a maze, eat lots of dots, and munch on ghosts before they get you.

Pac-Mania is an enhancement of the original idea, but placed in an isometric perspective – you also now have the ability to "jump" over ghosts. But be careful – some ghosts can jump just like you.

Finally, Pac-Attack is a Tetris-esque puzzle game where you'll have to use your smarts to clear the blocks and eat the ghosts that are in your bin. This game was included with Pac-Man: Special Color Edition on the Game Boy Color.

We'll return with some hands-on impressions as the day goes on.
