ナムコの人気キャラクター「パックマン」を主人公とした、横スクロールアクションゲームの傑作。 当時、その美しいグラフィックは、テレビアニメではないかと思った程である。 操作は3つのボタンで行い、左右の移動に2つのボタンを使用し、ボタンを押す回数で移動スピードを調節する。 そして、もう1つのボタンをジャンプに使用する。 よく練られたステージ構成と、 多彩なフィーチャーと、絶妙な操作感覚とゲームバランスなど、どれをとっても名作と呼ぶにふさわしい作品である。
Pac-Land (c) 1984 Namco.
In the cartoon world of Pac-Land, a fairy is lost and needs Pac-Man to help her get back to her home in Fairyland. Pac-Man's efforts are hampered by his ever-present enemies in the form of five deadly ghosts - Pinky, Inky, Blinky, Clyde and Sue - who constantly pursue Pac-Man as he travels through the colourful world of Pac-Land. When Pac-Man has helped the lost fairy get back to her home in Fairyland on the final stage of each trip, he is given a pair of magic shoes to help get back to his own home in Pac-Land.
In this, the 8th game in the seminal series, Namco opted to steer the series away from the maze-based antics of Pac-Man's previous adventures and instead created a colourful, sideways-scrolling platform game. This change of direction necessitated the addition of arms, legs and a face to the previously basic Pac-Man character, although much of the design work had already been completed for the 'Hanna-Barbera' cartoon series upon which the game is based.
Directional buttons make Pac-Man walk right or left, and it's possible to make him run by pressing down on a directional button repeatedly. Pac-Man must avoid the ghosts and other deadly objects that populate Pac-Land, either by jumping over or dodging them; unless, of course, he has picked up one of the mandatory Pac-Man 'Power Pills' that litter the levels which, as in Pac-Man's previous outings, make him temporarily invincible and turn the ghosts blue and vulnerable to being eaten. Each stage must also be completed within a set time limit, otherwise Pac-Man will be constantly pursued by a ghost. On some stages, Pac-Man must use a springboard to jump over large ponds. Every time Pac-Man makes it to the end of a stage, a bonus will be awarded based on how much time is left. On each stage, there are cherries and other items which Pac-Man can collect to score points.
Upon reaching the end of the final stage, Pac-Man will be given a pair of magic shoes that will help him on his way home. When he has reached home, he will meet with Ms. Pac-Man, Baby Pac-Man, Chomp-Chomp the Pac-dog, and Sour Puss the Pac-cat. The game then begins again.

ファミコン版は、2コンだと普通に操作できるって最初に発見した人は神だと思う

[@korigoriAir]

ファミコン版で出た時のガッカリ感が思い出される。当時のナムコのアーケードゲームは最高だったなあ。

[@bom7650]

今見ても面白いな。古さを感じない。 この頃のナムコって本当に神がかってたもんな～

[@kirisimaaka3715]

[@Chulayzmee]

分からない。分からないけど何故か急に聞きたくなって検索してやってきた。

[@1983parrothead]

When Namco introduced Pac-Land into the arcades, they preceded Nintendo's own Super Mario Bros. as one of the earliest side-scrollers in history. And Pac-Land was no slouch either, featuring parallax scrolling for some of the background elements, an impressive feat that would not become common place until the 16-bit console era began much later.

[@jeffwilson7778]

I wonder if the SMB creators were influenced by this game. It would've been cool to play Pac-Land on the NES.

[@Bloodreign1]

There is a Pac-Land for the Famicom, sadly it is nowhere as impressive as this game. Tiny sprites, and graphical downgrade mars the FC version, as expected.

[@sumsummer1176]

当時はリズミカルな音楽に感動しました 映像もですが、音楽はより体で覚えています 目をつむっていても、音楽だけでゲームの映像が浮かびます

[@kyokuduki99]

小学生の頃にわざわざ電車とバスを乗り継いで本厚木駅のゲームセンターに行ったなぁ😃

[@安藤浩-l4s]

世にも珍しいボタンだけのゲーム｡ 全てのトリップを行けた奴は素直に尊敬出来る｡ 特にモンスターの飛行機に乗っていく所はパワーエサを取ったら逆に終わりだから｡

[@djdensan]

このゲームが出た当時、衝撃を受けましたよ。『なんだこのアニメみたいなゲームは！』懐かしいな

[@chipdrusano]

It has the Pac Man cartoon theme song! Cool!!!

[@tomohiro711223]

復路のBGMが秀逸すぎ^^

[@Eternalfdubzero]

Variant of 765, when in Goroawase (Japanese Wordplay) is: 7 = Nana = "Na" 6 = Mutsu = "Mu" 5 = Itsutsu = "Go" or "Ko" 765 = Na-mu-ko = Namco. That number is derivative on various Namco-Bandai Videogames, examples: Counting Scores, High Scores and "The Idolm@ster" Central Studio.

[@Mrmeoggy]

great game

[@MrKotoyuki]

ファミコン版やPCエンジン版と一緒にプレイしたものですがなかなか難しいです。

[@azarashikameta8579]

小学生の時親に１００円貰ってすぐ死んで泣いてたな。。んでデモ画面ずっと見てた

[@korekoi5051]

ゲーセンのコントローラー 確かボタンだけだったんだよなー

[@XYZ_913]

近くの駄菓子屋のはハイパーオリンピックのパネルを使い回していた。

[@mmc4917]

操作が全てボタンだったんだっけ 難しいけど面白いゲームだった

[@kikudon100]

母がこれ好きで 近所の駄菓子屋に夕飯後に遊びに行ったなぁ〜

[@JohnSkellington]

I've been working on making a Pac-Land-style level for Super Mario Maker! The Pac-Man costume is used, Bullet Bills would be the ghost on cars, Lakitus would be the ghosts on airplanes, Paratroopas would be the ghosts on pogo sticks, Super Stars would be Power Pellets, coins would be the fruits, and the pipes would be the fire hydrants.

[@CrownedWillow]

+John Sullivan tell me the ID I would love to try it when it's done

[@JohnSkellington]

+Minepop207 the id is DB9D-0000-01B1-EA4C

[@ひろし-y1f]

敵がムーミン(*^^*)消火栓から水が出て上に乗れてた記憶があるな～

[@toonpunk]

thanks for the memories

[@takana4381]

@daishikeda さん 確かに難しかったですね。 ノーコンティニューでトリップ12ぐらいまでが限界でした。 当時付き合っていた彼女にもやらせてみましたが、ラウンド2に進めるかどうかでしたね。 普通の人向けに関しては、このゲームが発表された1984=昭和59年当時のゲーセンの 雰囲気からして、ちょっと酷かなと思います。

[@Simple1Jack]

I never got past the bit with the diving board. How were you ever supposed to work out that you had to run into a random cactus in order to get the required powerup??

[@電光のエレカ]

パックマンに横スクロールゲームあったんだ

[@swcw1570]

本作以降のナムコはアレだけど鉄拳や太鼓の達人のヒットで持ち直したと思う。バンナム合併以降はまたダメになったけど...

[@Eternalfdubzero]

Pac-Land runs on one of various first 16-bit based hardware: "Namco Pac-Land", also based on "Namco System 16" (Also known as "Namco Libble Rabble")

[@takedanobuharu]

ROUND8 風船出すところ、ヘルメットで１つ受けていれば、ALLNAMCOだったですね。ちょっともったいないかも。

[@Bloodreign1]

Have this via a flawed disc of Namco Museum 4, the Japanese version. I bought it cheap for Pac-Land mainly, sadly only Pac-Land and Assault work, the disc won't run the other 3 games on it. I figured the price was too good to be true ($14.99), because it normally runs $50+ for a good copy of that compilation. The disc is real and all, but you can see a warped look on the underside of the disc. A real bummer, but at least Pac-Land works (but Return of Ishtar and Genpei Toumaden do not). :(

[@Bloodreign1]

Remedied that situation within the last year, a flawless Namco Museum 4 JP version acquired, now everything is playable.

[@PacGuy765]

3:10 oddly looking famaliar from super rally X

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

Why a fairy erupted from his brain at the end of every level is a mystery nobody could answer.

[@Bloodreign1]

He kept the fairy under his hat, he was returning her home.

[@music_can_change_lives584]

Wait.... Is this based on the old Hana Barbara cartoon from the 80s?

[@Bloodreign1]

Yes, it was inspired from that cartoon.

[@sanyosuma]

パックマンて既婚者だったのね。

[@VectorOmega]

I didn't know Pac-Land had a few power-ups. Elaborate?

[@done-s]

このゲームあたりでナムコが急にゲーム作りを見失ったような気がしてたんだよな、子供の頃。

[@SirPenfro]

自分はこの頃まで（オールアバウトナムコVOL1あたり）が黄金期かと思います。ただドラコンスピリットごろからは、ああ・・という気持ちになりました

[@MrAhly5056]

Switchに移植されんかなぁ

[@Pancakedoezgaming21]

Pacland is a new stage For Super Smash Bros 4 For The wii u. YAY

[@Pancakedoezgaming21]

***** oh buddy oh pal, I watched it so many times, I was even watching it right now!

[@Pancakedoezgaming21]

***** nope >:(

[@ib4950]

FC版だと、女王や家族が居ないのか…

[@ScoopDogg]

joystick or button version mmmmmmm : ) i prefered the button version, especially for jumping that damn lake

[@三津晃]

ゲーセンでやりすぎてすっからかんになったな。

[@bladeexe]

So this stage is going to be in smash ooooooook.

[@jeffwilson7778]

I always wondered if this game influenced the creators of Super Mario Bros....

[@0810tokachan]

操作が難しくて、これ器用にやってる奴は 周りに一目置かれたもんだ。

[@高山征大-z5p]

レバーが無く、左右移動もジャンプも全てボタン操作ですからね。

[@crisdebo]

I remade the first level in Super Mario Maker

[@cocoa647]

it looks like it was drawn in ms paint

[@tango_doggy]

it's the limited colour palette mixed with no anti-aliasing

[@Bloodreign1]

For 1984, this game was above expectations in the graphics department. Graphics this nice had never been seen before, it was a real eyepopper seeing this game in motion.

[@carlottacarlotta3785]

I want to play!!!!!

[@nolanhg.7443]

4:26 Hmm, the music changes a little if you eat power pellets?

[@shampoomanjp]

ゲーセンでパタパタやってた　ムズイ

[@lucemonfalldownmode]

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! So this game is where the Pac-Land Stage comes from. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Look at it, it´s hilarious!

[@ultramaster2o1studios53]

Not to mention that the theme song is that from the cartoon from 1982.

[@SirPenfro]

7650点出しすぎｗ

[@daishikeda]

これ「三つのボタン（右・左・ジャンプ）だけで操作」だったんだよな・・・。 というか、このゲーム、当時としては難しすぎ。 これをもう少し普通の人（ゲーセンに出入しないような人）むけに作ってたら、ナムコは今頃、今の「任天堂」になってたかもしれないんだよな・・・。 パックランドの１年後に発売された「スーパーマリオ」が、明らかにパックランドを意識されて作られたのは、明らか。なんだけど、今思うと、パックランドを一般向けにつくることができなかったナムコは、「負け」だよな・・・。

[@SapirEstrella]

How do you jump so high???

[@dezedee1]

***** You had to hold down one of the 2 buttons to run fast this also helped you to jump high , if I remember correctly from about 25 years ago lol

Que demonios, nunca supe de este juego

[@zipzap8302]

like si estas por smash bros 4 ._.

[@sanpark72]

Nope, yo lo jugue por alla en el 2006 y este fue uno de los muchos juegos de mi infancia, la mayoria de la gente cree que Pacman fue solo el juego original junto con la saga World y estan mal (aunque tampoco digo que todos los juegos de pacman son una joya), hay que conocer mas.

THis games isnt for posers

🎮 break time has dis --- 😐 👻👻👻👻

[@tango_doggy]

Good one TV Sunđerbob

[@trev1976]

Same here lol >:(

[@negatigerx]

This guy plays way too slow. People jammed on the run button back in the arcade. Pac-Man FLEW across the screen. This guy sucked back in 2010, and sucks now, too.

[@ultramaster2o1studios53]

That's because the Japanese version of Pac-Land is slower but faster in the American version.

[@tenientedan603]

:v

[@xLoadez]

Ugly game...

[@CookieguyAR]

It looks great for the time it was released in. Alot before Super Mario Bros.

[@hjames78]

As a kid playing this game, for that time it looked great! you just don't know. Must not have been alive back then!

[@Bloodreign1]

1984 kiddo, no one saw a game look this good in those days, considering it was the first side scroller, replacing the simpler one screen games with graphics you had to use your imagination for. This game even looked better than some later games, and is more fun to play than the eyecandy kids play today.
