"Pac-Mania" is an action game released as an arcade game from NAMCO Inc. in 1987.

"Pac-Mania" is like 3D version of Pac-Man; its contents are very similar to the original Pac-Man except that jump action was added.

An amusing point of "Pac-Mania" is jump action; you can jump over enemies. If you continue to jump in a good way, you can proceed with the game almost without touching the ground; it is like a state of invincibility. However, after a certain time the jump power is getting lower. In the end, you cannot jump any more and may be beaten up by enemies.

This is "Pac-Mania". We hope you can enjoy it!

* Will a mania of "Pac-Mania" be called "Pac-Mania mania"?
