Puck Man (Magnavox Odyssey)
A downloadable game
First Released: Friday 22nd May 2020
Two - Three Player game, Competitive
A port of the 1980 arcade game "Pac Man", under its original name "Puck Man". This was released for the 40th anniversary of Pac Man (yes, its been that long now!) in an inventive way using the Odyssey console. This uses Game Card 2 (Simon Says) which is essentially just two squares visible. This acts as the Ghost characters and you can leave one in place if you only have two people available to play. The third (second?) player acts as Pac Man, using the provided accessory (a yellow square) that you need to print out and attach to some kind of pole / stick. The pac man player then moves their character around the screen physically while the ghost players try to catch them.
Full instructions provided, you can play this with simulation programs as long as you have the ability to place the overlay on top for the maze.
