Pac-Land is a side-scrolling platformer released in 1991 for the TurboGrafx-16 and PC. This platform game features the iconic Pac-Man character navigating colorful, multi-layered levels filled with obstacles and enemies. The main objective is to guide Pac-Man through various stages to rescue Fairyland’s inhabitants, progressing from left to right while avoiding hazards.
The gameplay pace is steady and approachable, emphasizing timing and precision jumps rather than fast reflexes. A unique mechanic in Pac-Land is its use of multiple scrolling layers, creating a sense of depth uncommon in platformers of its era. Additionally, players can collect power-ups such as the classic Pac-Man power pellets that temporarily allow Pac-Man to defeat enemies.
Distinctive for incorporating elements from the original Pac-Man maze gameplay in a side-scrolling format, Pac-Land TurboGrafx-16 combines platforming with the charm of a 1991 platformer. Its bright, cartoon-style graphics and varied level design offer a fresh take on the platform genre for the TurboGrafx-16 and PC audiences.
