Pac-Man: Adventures In Time

Pac-Man: Adventures In Time is a maze game for PC developed by Mind's Eye Productions and Creative Asylum and published by Hasbro Interactive in 2000.

Plot
One night, the ghosts steal a powerful Artifact that has protected the world from evil for thousands of years and bring it to The Mollusc, who shatters the Artifact and scatters its four pieces across time. Professor Pac alerts Pac-Man of the situation and builds a time machine in order to restore the Artifact to normal.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The entire game was created without Namco's control, and yet still is faithful to the original arcade game with a Pac-Man World feel.
 * 2) The intro and ending cutscenes look quite good for the time.
 * 3) Addicting gameplay that retains what made the original arcade game great while adding new features and layouts to make the game stand out.
 * 4) A catchy soundtrack.
 * 5) Returning from Pac-Mania, Pac-Man can jump over enemies and obstacles.
 * 6) A variety of new obstacles that require strategy to overcome. Such examples include slides, minecarts, tunnels, rivers, boulders, all sorts.
 * 7) Decent multiplayer mode that is very similar to the one featured in Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness.
 * 8) Fun minigames that keep the feel of the main game well.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Like Pac-Man World 1 and 3, your lives are not replenished after a Game Over if you have fewer than the default number.
 * 2) Some of the vertical mazes can be frustrating to deal with.
 * 3) The bonus cutscenes are boring and only feel like loading time filler.
 * 4) The multiplayer, while fun, is lackluster compared to other Pac-Man games.
 * 5) The Mollusc, while scary, is an underwhelming antagonist, as he only shows up in the opening and ending and just gets vaporized in the final cutscene with no boss fight.
