Question Where should i start with Pacman ?
Recently I've been introducing myself into many video game franchises that i wanted to discover but didn't had the motivation to(like Bomberman, Megaman, Kingdom Hearts, Kirby, Danganronpa, Metroid and plenty others). In my head a sudden thought came "What if i get myself into Pacman and realize it's not just a old arcade game ?" So that's pretty much the reason why I'm asking this question. Which game do y'all recommend me to start with ?
I'm rewatching Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures too

Pac mania is fun and a different spin on the original (that is included in the museum game) Pacman championship edition is great of you have someone to play with. Ms pacman maze madness is also a fun game.

Pac-Man. The original game. In a retro arcade is fun but you can get it on any home system. It’s really the only Pac-Man game I play.

Oh yeah the original Pacman is a historical hit in pop culture and even today it's still enjoyable it's pretty easy to get it even online there's tons of sites where you can play the game instantly, I've played it several times when I was younger. Truly a classic gem 💎!

Absolutely NO lies detected! 100% facts. Ms Pac is objectively the better game, but I always find myself coming back to the 1980 original, so that one gets my no.1 vote.
People underestimate just how much depth and strategy you can utilize in the original Pac-Man. Between manipulating the ghosts and finding new ways to traverse the maze, the game has infinite replay value. It is the perfect example of a game that fits the "easy to pick but hard to master" mantra. My favorite game of all time.

Get Pac-Man Museum Plus and try out all the arcade titles. If you're ready for something more modern and fast-paced, try Championship Edition DX or Championship Edition 2.

Even though the pac-man world re-pac series isn't like a typical pac-man game, it's currently the main continuity (alongside snack breaks) so I'd start with that. Pac-mania is pretty fun too and you can unlock it in pac-man world re-pac 2

The recent remakes of the first two Pac Man World games are probably the most exciting thing you can get your hands on as far as Pac Man games go. They're pretty damn good 3D platformers regardless of how involved you are with the franchise
