In this new
Pac-Man game, the game-play mechanics have altered
radicallyinstead of eating dots, the player is required to eat a
key, which unlocks a section of the maze containing some kind of food.
Once all the food is eaten, the player advances to the next level. The
new game-play mechanics were considered by many to be confusing, and
too much of a change from the original two games (Pac-Man and
Ms. Pac-Man). Ultimately, Super Pac Man proved to be the least
successful game in the original series, being outsold that year by
Pac-Man Plus, a slightly updated version of the original game. In spite
of this, the game's A.I. was celebrated as being one of the best of that
era, and in the eyes of many fans, was the best out of any Pac-Man game.
