**** by kk. Comment: "I actually find this game somewhat boring, but it did move units -- and I have to give it an extra star or so for the classic factor." (2002-07-10 16:01:52Z)

**** by Reinen. Comment: "4 stars for classic status, originality (at the time). Most I`ve completed is about 2 mazes, but you soon lose interest." (2003-02-19 17:39:53Z)

***** by droidsattack. Comment: "This is the first game I ever loved when I was a little kid and I still love it to this day. Imaginative, and inovative for it's time. A pure classic." (2003-08-21 17:35:27Z)

***** by thelord04. Comment: "I may have not been born until 1989 but because oft he fact that my uncle owned an arcade this was believe it or not the first arcade game I ever played and that game was the game that got me into video games." (2003-10-13 12:03:40Z)

***** by lee381. Comment: "this is where it all began (for me) i watched t.v. and seen pac man, i had to have it. christmas came and all we (my 2 sisters and i)got was an atari, with pac man,frogger,donky kong and combat. (you might think that wasnt much since 3 games game with atari, but that was the best christmas of my life.) now i have ps1 and ps2 and i will never forget the real games of my childhood."
