Editorial Review

It's old school meets new technology with the handheld Color FX II: Pacman game, a miniaturized makeover of the classic arcade favorite. It would be a tempting overstatement to suggest that, in the intervening 20-plus years, the color LCD graphics of this new format have surpassed those of the quarter-gobbling original, but the Color FX II (powered by four AA batteries, not included) does provide a faithful re-creation of the traditional Pacman pursuit. Players still direct that half-smiley face, half-tennis ball through the maze as it chomps as many dots as possible while eluding the green ghosts. The FX II, with its slick, translucent orange chassis, features optional arcade sounds; although, with six control buttons, it's a bit of a shame that the Pacman navigation function--in all four directions--has been shoe-horned onto one button smaller than your thumb. But, quibbles aside, whether you're nostalgic for or curious about arcade history, there's a lot to like in this original palm pilot. --Tony Mason

I got this item one day after my birthday but I got this at Target. I t does make a lot of noise, but that's OK. Your parents might buy this for you but, they will ask you to turn off the sound by pressing the sound button on the bottom of this item. If you don't press anything in 4 minutes, it will turn off automaticly but your game is saved. This thing is very cool. Requires 4 AA batteries which are not included.- Cristian Mojica

Worst toy ever! Why? If you've ever played the real pacman, this will make sense to you: 1. It has a "scrolling feature" where the board is divided up into 8 parts and you jump from one part of the board (screen) to the next part of the board (screen) and don't know whether there's a ghost there or not. 2. You have to change direction when pacman hits the square. Too early, or late, and pacman sits there waiting to be eaten by ghosts.
This is going to get re-gifted at my first opportunity.

This game while fun is not as good as some I have played. The ghosts and pacman is not well lit and the game is very small for adults. Children love the game and have small hand so they will enjoy this game. Overall if this is the only choice you have I would say buy it. Otherwise shop around a little more for a better game display.
