Gameplay
Gameplay of PACit, from the Namco Musueum instruction manual.
The player guides Pac-Man to eat the incoming Pac-Dots, which move in from the right side of the screen. The game is simply controlled by moving Pac-Man up and down. The incoming Pac-Dots' location are indicated by a scrolling arrow on the right side of the screen.
As Pac-Man eats more Pac-Dots, the speed of the game gradually increases to extreme speeds, before returning back to the starting speed and the process looping until the game ends. If Pac-Man misses a Pac-Dot, he loses one of five lives, which is indicated by a meter on the bottom right corner of the screen. The game ends when Pac-Man loses all his lives.
Scoring System
Each Pac-Dot is worth 3 points. After every 10 Pac-Dots eaten, the base point value multiplier is increased by one (ex; the point value increases to 6 points, then 9 points, then 12 points and so on).
Trivia
- This is the only Pac-Man game to be released exclusively on a Sega console.
