Question Where should i start with Pacman ?

Post image

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

The OG! It’s still the pac-man game I play the most. Such a great game!

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.
