After dedicating a video to Pac-Man's wife, today it's time to do it about his first son Jr. Pac-Man (aka Junior Pac-Man) / パック・ジュニア, where you will find the following versions:
0:00 Arcade (1983)
2:57 Atari 2600 (1986)
4:57 PC DOS (CGA) (1988)
6:34 Commodore 64 / C64 (1988)
8:43 Atari 5200 (Prototype) (1984)
10:44 Atari 8-bit family (Prototype) (1984)
12:25 BONUS: Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (Pac-Jr. from Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures) (1994)
The Arcade was released in 1983 by Bally Midway without the authorization of Namco although both companies reached a licensing agreement in 1984. Unlike prior games in the series, the maze in Jr. Pac-Man scrolls horizontally and has no escape tunnels.
There is also an EGA version of the game for PC but unfortunately we couldn't load it properly. We wanted to add the Pac-Jr minigame from the Sega Genesis Pac-Jr. from Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures as a bonus. Although technically it is a differente game, it is perhaps the only other appearance of Jr. Pac-Man in another game with these mechanics.
