Jr. Pac-Man is an arcade game released in 1983. It is based on Pac-Man and its derivatives, but is not officially part of the Pac-Man series—along with Baby Pac-Man, this game was created without the authorization of Namco. This was one of the games that eventually led to the termination of the licensing agreement between Namco and Midway. The game was later ported to the Atari 2600.
Gameplay
The player guides Jr. Pac-Man through seven large scrolling mazes to eat dots while avoiding the ghosts that want to devour him. Use the power pellets to turn the tables on the ghosts and eat them. Chase after the moving toy prizes and eat them for bonus points, but be careful not to let them touch the power pellets, or they will destroy them.
Notes
Atari developed a home version of this game for the Atari 5200, but it was shelved when the American home game market collapsed in 1983.
