Super Pac-Man Plug 'n' Play...question on games and website
I was searching for recent releases of Plug 'N plays, mainly because in K-Mart I noticed that they released Intellivision Volume II. I didn't care for the games on this, and didn't see a "Volume I," and was searching the web for info (I still haven't found any).
I digress. In my search, I came across Super Pac-Man Plug 'N Play, available on a website called Nextag.com. Is this a reputable site?
The game: 4 Pac-man games. I heard of one - Pac-man. The other three I never heard of: Pac-N-Pal, Super Pac-Man, and Pac-man Plus.
Anybody pick this up for an opinion? Are these games remotely as fun as Ms. Pac-man or Baby Pac-Man? Of course, the original Pac-Man was a bore since the maze never changed.

I've seen the Super Pac one you are talking about in stores(Target, WalMart) if you are unsure about ordering online.
Super Pac Man is fun. Don't know about the others.

Super Pac-Man is pretty good. If I remember correctly, I think Pac-n-Pal was similar to it as well. Pac-Man Plus is a harder version of the original, where when eating a power pellet, only 3 ghosts may turn blue, the maze can become invisible, or the ghosts can become invisible, there were also a few other changes but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
Bringing up Baby Pac-Man brought back some memories. I used to love that game since there weren't very many other pinball/video game combos that I can remember at least. That may also be the only game in the Pac-Man series I can remember that some of the ghosts were actually faster than Pac-Man, and I'm pretty sure its the only one where you had to earn power pellets.

I'm a big fan of Super Pac-Man. They changed the gameplay enough that it doesn't feel like a retread of Pac/Ms, but it still managed to feel like a Pac-Man game.
The arcade I used to frequent had Pac-Man Plus, so I remember playing that one quite a bit. It's essentially a 'remix' of Pac-Man. It's a nice inclusion, especially since it doesn't seem to get the attention of the other games.
