On a "
Tetris "-like board the player drops blocks consisting of Ghosts, Blocks, Pac-Men, and one Fairy (if your Fairy Meter is full) to the ground. The objective is to not let the blocks overflow, let Pac-Man eat the ghosts, and make lines to shorten the amount of blocks on the board. When Pac-Man eats a ghost, the Fairy Meter goes up. Once full, in the Pac-Man Bar (diagram that shows when next Pac-Man appears) the Pac-Man icon disappears and changes into a fairy icon. Once on board, when it hits something, it waves its wand and several lines below of anything disappear. Once the fairy disappears, the score bonus is given, and gameplay continues.Pac-Attack can also be played in 2-player mode. Player 1 must eat Blinky, while Player 2 must eat Sue, the purple ghost fromPacmania .External links
