Pac-Man Vs. Review

Overview
Pac-Man Vs. is a version of Pac Man adapted for multiple players. One player controls Pac-Man and tries to eat the pellets, while the others control the ghosts to try to catch him. Each team scores points in different ways, and the first team to hit the target wins the game.
The novelty is that the game uses multiple screens so the ghost and pac-man players can't see what each other are doing. It has the feel of hide-and-seek to it. Six different mazes can be selected, each having different layouts and music.

Commitment
Duration: This game will take between 5 minutes and 10 minutes to complete. Before the game begins, a predetermined score value can be set to either 7,000, 10,000 or 15,000 points, which can affect how long the game is.
Players: You can play with 4 players in the same room, but you can’t play it online. If there are fewer than four players in the game, uncontrolled ghosts will become gray-colored CPUs that are harmless to Pac-Man — however, a ghost can touch him to tag it with his or her color, which can kill Pac-Man and count towards that player's score.
