Again, going a wee smidge out of chronological order here. But I did manage to chat briefly with someone who helped create Game Boy last weekend, and he gave me the info I needed for the F-1 Race episode. So I think it was worth it!

In the meantime, here be Pac-Man. Arrr.

Pac-Man retrospective: When a Man becomes a Boy | Game Boy Works #109

Namco buries the axe with Nintendo long enough to bring its classic maze-chase arcade hit to Game Boy, and the results are… mixed. A strong game gets a slow, cramped rendition here. It's playable, yes, but this icon loses a few vital details in the process of squeezing down to fit Game Boy's limits, which means this is far from the definitive handheld take on Pac-Man… something that was true even back in the day.

But... there is a scrunched up version of the game that fits the whole maze on the screen. I had this game as a kid and did it all the time. Press left or right at the title screen, you should see a "1/2" icon.
