Pac-Land is an arcade game released by Namco in 1984 and later adapted for the Atari Lynx. The game represents a departure from the traditional maze-chase gameplay of the original Pac-Man, as it is a side-scrolling platformer. The player controls Pac-Man in an adventure to get back home, encountering ghosts and collecting fruits along the way. Released during the genre's peak, Pac-Land's unique gameplay and colorful visuals contributed to its legacy in the industry.
