Pac-In-Time (パックインタイム) is a video game developed by Namco, featuring the popular arcade character Pac-Man. It was released in 1994 for MS-DOS, Macintosh, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy. It was released shortly after Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, which brought about the change from the classic arcade versions of Pac-Man to the development of more-complex and adventurous games.

This game was an offshoot from the normal variety of Pac-Man games, in that it does not confine Pac-Man to a maze-like board. Rather, the player controls Pac-Man through various side-scrolling levels, obtaining many different items along the way; the plot does take elements from the earlier Pac-Man games, such as the objective to collect a certain number of pellets before exitting a level. The game allows the player to access completed levels via passwords that are given every five levels.

The game is a rebranded version of a 1993 game Fury of the Furries by Kalisto. The PC, Macintosh and Game Boy versions are almost identical to the original; other versions are more different.

Official story

Pac-Man's archenemy, the Ghost Witch, has cast a vicious spell on Pac-Man and has thrown him back in time to when he was just a Pac-Boy. Only you can save him. Down some Pac-Pellets and get ready to battle your way through a totally supersonic side-scrolling adventure. Journey through snowy mountains and forests, collect fireballs and bubbles, crush Pac-Bats and ghosts, swim like a fish and swing like a monkey... and ultimately get Pac-Man back to the real world!

Reaction

The game was successful in part due to its branding of the Pac-Man name, as well as bringing about a new genre of Pac-Man games, which would continue to be successful in later generation game systems. The graphics were colorful and pleasant, and the game's simplistic gameplay made it fun for Pac-Man fans and non-fans alike. Pac-Man's evolution in this game helped it become successful in later games, as gamers wanted more than just a yellow ball going across the screen.
