Pac-Man Collection includes four games from Namco's Pac-Man franchise — the original Pac-Man (1980), Pac-Mania (1987), Pac-Attack (1993) and Pac-Man Arrangement (1996), the later of which was originally exclusive to the compilation arcade game Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2.[1] Pac-Man, Pac-Mania and Arrangement were originally released for arcades, while Pac-Attack was first released for both the SNES and Sega Genesis in North America and Europe. Ms. Pac-Man is excluded from the compilation due to the game already being present in the Namco Museum collection for the system from a few months prior.[2] The original Pac-Man can be displayed in either full-screen or a scrolling display.[3] Excluding Pac-Attack, each of the games allow the player to alter the number of lives, game difficulty and other related options. All four of the games are also stripped of any multiplayer features.[4] Pac-Attack and Pac-Mania also have their soundtracks cut down due to storage capacity, while Arrangement's is in a lower bit-rate.[1]
