Top 10 Best Pac-Man Games

There have been a lot of lists on this site that say the best games of a certain game character. But what about Pac-Man?

All people know him for nowadays is his first game. So I decided to show you all what Pac-Man's true potential is! Enjoy!
The Top Ten
1 Pac-Man World 2

Pac-Man World 2 is, hands down, the best Pac-Man game. Championship Edition is good too, but it's just so overrated because of Bandai Namco's intention to regress Pac-Man into a lifeless pizza thing from the '80s. This hinders the ability for this game to get the love it deserves from today's gaming community!

By far the best out of the Pac-Man World series and a true masterpiece. It was the proper game for the transition of Pac-Man from 2D to 3D, like Mario 64 was for Mario, Metroid Prime was for Metroid, and so on. It must get a remaster or at least a re-release for modern consoles.

2 Pac-Man

This is the best-selling arcade game of all time for a reason. It is, simply put, the perfect arcade game, and it's a game that everyone knows. Even 37 years later, it is still a household name. Sure, it doesn't have the depth of a console/PC game, but it was never designed for that. It was designed to eat quarters at an arcade, and it did that better than any game ever made.

I love the graphics of NES Pac-Man, and the gameplay is so fun and addictive. Each ghost acts differently. Learn their behaviors and how to use the tunnels, pipes, and sides of the screens because the ghosts move slower through those areas.

The ultimate game of cat vs. mice.

3 Ms. Pac-Man

Better than the original because the maze changes and it is faster.

Good update to the original. Maybe better.

This game is pretty fun. I played it on Namco Museum 50th Anniversary.

4 Pac-Man World

Pac-Man World deserves much better recognition. It has the best graphics a video game could ever have, and its music and levels are flawless. Also, how much more creative can a Pac-Man game get?!

Hands down, this is the 2nd best game in the world! Super Mario 64 is the best game ever! Pac-Man World has no excuse not to be top 1 on the list.

Dude, Pac-Man World is a masterpiece! Why do people hate this game so much?! I have nothing against the graphics. Best music ever!

5 Super Pac-Man

I don't know why people hate this game. You just need skill in moving Pac-Man.

6 Pac-Man Championship Edition
7 Pac-Mania

Hands down, this is the best Pac-Man game ever, tying with Pac-Man World and Pac-Man Arrangement.

8 Pac-Man Arrangement

Such an underrated video game! But I always criticize the game's difficulty.

The reimagining of an arcade classic, adding Kinky and improving the controls.

9 Pac-Man Battle Royale
10 Pac-Man World 3

Best story, best graphics, best emphasis. This game has no excuse not to be top 1.

This game and the original Pac-Man World are better than Pac-Man World 2 in every way.

The Contenders
11 Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+

In my opinion, this game takes the original Pac-Man formula and turns the intensity up to 11 with a super addictive and fast-paced experience. After playing this, I just can't go back to the old ones without thinking this one is better in every way.

How the heck is this so low? It's probably the best Pac-Man game other than Pac-Man World 2.

An even faster-paced version of Championship Edition with ghost trains.

12 Pac-Land

Pac-Whiz.

This game marks the debut of the female pink ghost, Pinky.

13 Jr. Pac-Man
14 Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship
15 Pac-Man: Adventures in Time

What a cool idea this was - going back in time! Pac-Man was a true hero in this game. Fantastic cutscenes. Pac-Man has always been a fan favorite.

One of the best (ever) Pac-Man games! Why doesn't Professor Pac-Man return anymore? He was sexy!

This proves Pac-Man to be a very inventive gaming franchise.

16 Pac-Pix

Pac-Pix was a masterpiece of humor. I wish I had this underrated game.

17 Pac-Man Collection

A pretty good GBA collection to kick off Pac's life in the 16-bit handheld generation. It contains Pac-Man, with both fullscreen and scroll modes, the puzzle game Pac-Attack, the arcade game Arrangement, and the always popular Mania.

18 Pac-Man: World Rally
19 Pac-In-Time
20 Namco Museum
21 Pac-Man Plus

A weird version of Pac-Man with strange power-ups.

It is good. It might be fast, but I like it.

22 Baby Pac-Man

This obscure arcade machine includes a pinball game underneath. It is one of my favorite Pac-Man games. The maze stays the same as the original Pac-Man, but with worse graphics, and then it transitions to the pinball parts.

An obscure video pinball hybrid that I played in an arcade once. It is very fun.

23 Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures
24 Pac-Man Vs.

This should be top 1! Why? Because Mario actually appeared in this game!

Also, the original Pac-Man and Super Pac-Man do not deserve to be so high on this list.

25 Pac-Man Party

This game revolutionized the Pac-Man franchise by giving the characters redesigns. Anyways, Pac-Man World (PS1) is the greatest video game of all time. It being top 7 is a crime.

This did surprisingly well for me. I don't know, maybe it was because of the new characters. (Patra, Woofa, and Roger)
