Pac-Man: Adventures in Time (2000)
Genres:Arcade
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:As in the original Pac-Man arcade game, the basic objective of each level is to guide Pac-Man through a maze while eating dots, unique food items, and power pellets that make Pac-Man's enemies, the Ghosts, edible for a limited time. The ability to jump returns from Pac-Mania for bypassing hazards and avoiding enemies. Some levels contain obstacles such as deadly boulders, animals who delay or kill Pac-Man, and explosive projectiles. After every few rounds there is a bonus mini-game in which the player can obtain some extra points (with every 50,000 points earning Pac-Man an extra life). The levels also feature a variety of shapes and architectural features such as cylindrical mazes, canopies, bridges, pyramids, and even walls that allow Pac-Man to walk vertically. The game features more sophisticated events than its arcade predecessor, such as collecting a certain number of pellets to unlock another area of a maze. The game also includes the ability to see the short intermission videos that come before a new level and allow for an option of non-storyline play on specific levels. The game also has the ability to connect over the Internet for multiplayer mini-games.Show more

My old friend from post hurricane katrina burned it onto a disc for me and i thought he was the coolest person I've ever met for that.
The game adds a lot of interesting twists to the tride and true Pacman maze formula and I think its one of the best out there. Its super challenging, especailly in the late game. Tons of big mazes to learn and master. It's my go-to game for testing old computers and I would love for more people to be able to play it.
Played this game with my grandma, who I bonded with over video games more than anyone else in my life. She introduced me to Pac-Man, Tetris, and a ton of the old PopCap catalog, and got me interested in PC gaming at a time when all I knew was on console. Frankly, it blows my mind Namco never took the concept of a level-by-level maze game with unique stages and gimmicks further, and I really want more people to play this; there's surprisingly few Pac-Man games like Adventures in Time.
I remember seeing a commercial for this game way back in the 2000's, and I was already familiar enough with Pac-Man to want to try it. Funnily enough I didn't get many opportunities to play it cuz I didn't have my own PC until years later, but what rare few times I did get to play it I did enjoy. I have my doubts they'd release it nowadays cuz Namco had little to no involvement with it, and Ms. Pac-Man is featured in the Multiplayer Mode and some extra cutscenes, but it would be a neat little miracle if it ever does get a proper re-release!
I had this game as a teenager and it was a lot of fun, pretty simple in that it's just classic Pacman mazes with 3D gimmicks, I would love to play it again! Come on Namco!

Star Trek: Strategic Operations SimulatorStar Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator is an arcade action game where you take control of the Starship Enterprise. Your mission is to save the Federation from NOMAD! Before you get a chance at destroying NOMAD, you'll have to battle your way through ten levels (each consisting of multiple rounds). In each round you may encounter Klingon fighters, deadly anti-matter saucers, asteroid fields, and deadly meteors, all of which are capable of depleting the Enterprises energy. The game ends when your energy supply has completely run out. To fight these dangers, the Enterprise is equipped with an unlimited supply of phasers and a limited supply of photon torpedoes. Each round also contains one or more starbases; if you dock at a starbase, some of your supplies (such as energy and torpedoes) will be replenished. The game is played from two points of view; the top of the screen contains a third person view of the Enterprise (along with the ships gauges), and on the bottom of the screen is a first person point of viewAction Science fiction

Bubble BobbleIn the game, each player controls one of the two Bubble Dragons, Bub and Bob. The player can move along platforms, as well as jump to those above and to the side, similar to most platform games.
The player can also blow bubbles. These can trap enemies, who are defeated if the bubble is then burst by the player's spiny back. Bubbles that contain enemies can be popped at the same time resulting in different foods being projected around the level. Each enemy trapped in a bubble equates to a different food. Food is consumed and transferred to points (an increasing scale of 1000 points is awarded for each enemy burst in tandem with another meaning: one enemy burst equals one food item worth 1000 points, two enemies burst equals two food items worth 1000 and 2000 points, three enemies burst equals three food items worth 1000, 2000 and 4000 points, and so on), which results in earning lives. These same bubbles also float for a time before bursting, and can be jumped on, allowing access to otherwise inaccessible areas. Players progress to the next level once all enemies on the current level are defeated.
Enemies turn "angry" — becoming pink-colored and moving faster — if they are the last enemy remaining, escape from a bubble after being left too long or a certain amount of time has been spent on the current level. A monster will also become angry if either player collects a skull (the only negative item in the game), and the monster is hit by the resulting comet crossing the screen (however, this is a rare occurrence).
After a further time limit expires, an additional invincible enemy appears for each player, actively chasing them using only vertical and horizontal movements. These do not need to be defeated to complete the level, and disappear once a player's life is lost.
Contact with enemies and their projectiles (rocks, lasers, fireballs, etc.) results in death.Action Fantasy Kids
