Why are the 5th gen pac-man games so overlooked? The gameplay and presentation were polished as fuck.

Nobody wants to identify themselves with Ms. Pac-Man.

Pac-Man has always been underrated after the first arcade game. Pic related is one of the best PS2 games, plus it has a bunch of the old arcade games on it.

It looks like shovelware. I know the games are great but the packaging is screaming "easy babby tier shit"

Pac-Man in general is overlooked sans the original one and Ms. Pac-Man (maybe Pac-Mania).
Pac-Man World is one of my favorite games ever and the reason I got a PS1.
Also, Pac-Man World Rally is imo the best 6th gen kart-racer, but that's not retro.

The multiplayer mode in that game is amazing. I played it with 3 players last week. Very short rounds, but super fun.

I think it has more to do with the characters not being as marketable as rad bandicoots and gun totting archeologists.

Pac has some generally amazing games. Both World 1 and 2 are great, but are forgotten by most. Adventures in Time was pretty cool too.

I don't remember anything about this game but I do remember that I played the fuck out of it.

The character design is fucking horrible when taken to even 16 bit levels.

I'm happy to see all the Pac lovin', I also find it amazing how many good games Pac-Man has that are often overlooked.

Hear hear, my friend group and I have been replaying PMW2 since childhood. Wish demand was high enough to warrant more, but sadly PMW3 happened...

There were some questionable pac
-man designs in the past, but 5th gen pac was the ideal 3d pac.
